Abstract

This   work   reflects   the   outcome   of   my   intervention   in   the   round   table   that   formed   the   agenda   of   the   International   Congress   entitled:   Industrial   Relations   and   Fundamental   Rights   in   the   Digital  Age.  The  objective  was  to  answer  four  questions  from  a  national  perspective,  so  that  they   could  present  a  table  compared  between  the  three  countries  that  formed  the  table:  Italy,  France  and   England.  The  questions  revolved  around  current  issues  such  as  privacy,  the  use  of  algorithms  and   remote   work.   In   particular,   Italy   has   had   legislation   on   distance   work   since   2017,   while   there   is   a   lack   of   a   right   to   disconnection,   unlike   in   France.   In   addition,   the   issue   of   the   algorithm   has   been   addressed  by  the  Council  of  State  in  Italy  and,  for  the  first  time  in  Europe,  the  Bologna  Court  has   recognised  the  bias  of  the  algorithm  used  by  Deliveroo,  being  able  to  discriminate  by  reproducing  to   infinity  the  "logic"  of  its  programmers,  in  particular,  the  judge  considers  that  the  algorithm  hinders   the  participation  of  workers  in  trade  union  fighting  actions.
