In accordance with that objective, a narrow definition cannot be given to the concepts that define the scope of that directive, including the concept of ‘worker’ in Article 1(1)(a) of the directive (see, to that effect, judgments in Athinaïki Chartopoïïa, C‑270/05, EU:C:2007:101, paragraphs 25 and 26, and, by analogy, Union syndicale Solidaires Isère, C‑428/09, EU:C:2010:612, paragraph 22).
