Abstract

A critical analysis of on-call employment twenty years after its introduction into Italian labour law. The innovations introduced by Directive 2019/1152/EU with reference to the predictability and schedulability of work and the consequences arising from the 2019 Supreme Court ruling for the balance between the law and collective bargaining are both examined. Taking a cue from the work in digital platforms and in the entertainment sector, it is highlighted how the idea of a “work anywayµ is the common thread for both national and EU legislators
