In an interview with Bloomberg, Margrethe Vestager says she’s looking at ways to help "people who work in a weak negotiating position” amid concerns about the plight of workers in the so-called gig economy.

A key question is whether the European Union can "give sort of European level guidance as to how to allow people to organise” without it being seen "as a cartel”, she said, referring to rules that curb price-fixing between businesses.
