Convenios colectivos de trabajadores autónomos y derecho de la competencia: nuevas directrices europeas

Resumen

Self-employed people infringe EU competition rules if they negotiate collectively their working conditions. However, certain self-employed find it very difficult to influence their working conditions. The objective of the Commission «Guidelines on the application of Union competition law to collective agreements regarding the working conditions of solo self-employed persons» is to ensure that EU competition law does not stand in the way of collective negotiations and agreements about working conditions for selfemployed people having little influence over their working conditions. To achieve this objective, the Commission identify those self-employed people who should not be hindered to negotiate and agree collectively their working conditions; and provide clarity as to the application of EU competition law on collective agreements regarding the working conditions of self-employed people.
