Speaker: Martín Godino Reyes, Managing Partner, Sagardoy Abogados

Moderator: Ricardo Bodas Martín, President of the Social Chamber of the National High Court. Member of the Academic Council of Fide

Summary:

The appearance and multiplication in recent years of activities that are organized through digital platforms and that put final consumers in contact with those who offer mass consumption services, has given rise to a type of work characterized by a relative autonomy of those who They lend it, compatible with a non-existent or precarious organization of material means to lend them. In this complex business scheme, the relationship between the owner of the platform or digital application and who, through it, effectively provides the service to the final consumer, is proving controversial in all legal systems, which has opened a debate on the legal nature of said relationship.

There are already some judicial pronouncements, intense administrative intervention and the formulation of doctrinal proposals to solve the controversy. Knowing it is undoubtedly of manifest importance for every jurist and in particular for the labor lawyer.

Summary:

Next to the year of entry into force of Organic Law 3/2018, on Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights, we consider it appropriate to make a global balance of its implementation and of the main issues that it has raised in recent months taking into account, in particular, the first interpretations made by the Spanish Data Protection Agency. On the other hand, the first judicial pronouncements issued by national and international courts (among which the recent pronouncement of the Grand Chamber in the López Ribalda case stands out), with regard to the application of digital rights, require reflection on the evolution of the norm in the practice of our labor relations and assess the effects that these nascent interpretative lines bring with them.

Current redaction on this article. 34.8 ET reformulates the possibilities of adapting working time to make it compatible with family life.

Speaker: Lourdes Arastey, Magistrate of the Social Chamber of the Supreme Court

Moderator: Martín Godino Reyes, Managing Partner of Sagardoy Abogados

Summary:

Fundamental rights that are not outside the protection framework of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and its Protocols (ECHR). In this area, the possibilities of intervention of the European Court (ECHR) are particularly relevant insofar as its rules of procedure allow access by citizens themselves through individual claims against States bound by the ECHR. The latest pronouncements of the ECHR related to social issues -some of them related to our country- show the need to get closer to the procedural characteristics of this supranational instance.
