Towards a new notion of subordination in Italian Labour Law?

The essay investigates the systematic effects produced by art. 2, Legislative Decree n. 81/2015, providing for the application of subordinate employment law to a specific category of self-employee: that one “hetero-organized” by the client.

According with the Author this reform is producing in Italian Labor Law the effect to extend not only the subjective field of applicability of subordinate employment law, but even the same objective notion of subordination “by addiction”
