The event “WORK PLATFORMS: Urban Mobility and Labor Rights”, which will take place on September 27th at 2:00 PM in the Palácio Galveias Library, promoted by CoLABOR in partnership with the European project PLUS – Platform Labour in Urban Spaces, has as its general theme the socio-economic implications arising from the business model based on the digital platform economy in the urban mobility sector.
