RCC is pleased to announce this talk by Alvaro San Martin Rodriguez, Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Global Law and Policy, Harvard Law School. He practices law at San Martin attorneys (Bufete Casadeley) in Madrid as Head of the Labor Law Department.

The impact of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights on new economic models is not always direct and its perimeter is often prone to inequality, which disproportionately affects vulnerable agents such as workers.

The fundamental right to fair working conditions may be threatened on certain occasions in the context of collaborative economy models and it is necessary to strive for more nuanced regulations. The norm that technology evolves faster than the legal systems does not render fundamental rights violations justifiable.

Speaker: Alvaro San Martin, RCC Research Fellow; Visiting Researcher at the Institute for Global Law and Policy, Harvard Law School.

Sponsors: RCC; Institute for Global Law and Policy, Harvard Law School.
