The government proposal on platform work is facing criticism for its changes to the definition of dependent work. Unions and some opposition members argue it could legalize a significant number of cases of disguised employment, weakening employee protections and reducing state revenue. The Ministry of Labor rejects these criticisms. Irena Ferčíková Konečná from the Greens described the proposal as the most significant intervention in labor law in thirty years, suggesting it could worsen conditions for those working on digital platforms. Tomáš Prouza from the Trade and Tourism Union believes it clarifies existing characteristics of dependent work rather than redefining it. The discussion included insights from analyst Jonas Kreisinger, moderated by Vanda Kofroňová.
