After months of preparation, the website is launching and membership is opening. APP ČR — Platform Workers Association Czech Republic — is the first organization in the country to systematically represent couriers, drivers and other digital platform workers.
Why is it being created right now? Because the European Union has adopted the Platform Work Directive and the Czech Republic must implement it into national law by the end of 2026. The goal is to be part of this process — as the voice of the people directly affected.
Membership is completely free until 15 May, join today!
