Il lavoro intermittente è comunque un lavoro

A critical analysis of on-call employment twenty years after its intro- duction into Italian labour law. The innovations introduced by Directive 2019/1152/EU with reference to the predictability and schedulability of work and the consequences arising from the 2019 Supreme Court rul- ing for the balance between the law and collective bargaining are both examined. Taking a cue from the work in digital platforms and in the entertainment sector, it is highlighted how the idea of a “work anyway” is the common thread for both national and EU legislators.
