History

SRDP was founded in June 2021 to fight for better working conditions in a sector with growing importance in Croatia.[4] Two large problems the union announced it would be tackling were the lack of legislation on platform work and the status of "aggregators", medium-sized businesses who organised workers' access to platforms.[5][6] The union also cited concerns over sick leave, vacations, accident insurance and the partaking in business risk.[7]

In October, SRDP organised a warning strike of Uber drivers after they were unable to speak to an Uber representative after two weeks without pay.[8]
