This Country Report explores how platform workers’ data can be recovered and used to support collective bargaining and monitor the implementation of agreements in the platform economy in Belgium.

This report presents the findings of the Polish case study within the European research project GDPoweR – Recovering workers’ data to negotiate and monitor collective agreements in the platform economy. It analyses platform work in the ride-hailing and food delivery sectors, focusing on three interconnected areas: the regulatory context and characteristics of platform work, collective bargaining dynamics, and the collection and use of workers’ data by digital labour platforms.

This report is the result of research conducted in Spain as part of the GDPoweR project, the aim of which is to recover and use personal data collected by food delivery and ride-hailing platforms on their workers in order to verify the degree of implementation of collective agreements on these types of platforms and thus improve industrial relations in this sector.
