Algoritmické řízení práce a právo na rovné zacházení v platformové ekonomice

This bachelor’s thesis deals with algorithmic management of work and its relationship to the right to equal treatment in the platform economy. It focuses primarily on how digital platforms use algorithms to organise, control and evaluate the work of workers, and whether these mechanisms may lead to unequal treatment or discriminatory impacts. At the same time, the thesis examines to what extent the current legal framework, especially Directive (EU) 2024/2831 and its proposed Czech transposition, responds to problems connected with the determination of employment status, the lack of transparency in algorithmic decision-making and the limited possibilities for workers to defend themselves. The thesis also includes an analysis of the Deliveroo case, which illustrates the tension between the formal classification of workers as self-employed persons and the actual degree of control exercised by the platform. The thesis concludes that algorithmic management may in some cases significantly weaken workers’ autonomy and create risks of unequal treatment. The current European regulation represents an important step towards strengthening worker protection; however, its practical effectiveness will depend on the specific form of national implementation and on the real enforceability of the safeguards introduced
