Resistance, unionism and conflict in the field of delivery platforms and courier services
Abstract
The characteristics of work on digital platforms have generated new forms of resistance and mobilization. This article discusses some of the realities of mobilization and organization in the conflict of the platforms through an analysis of the discourse of workers and ex-workers who have mobilized in recent years, being active in one way or another in the conflict. In this way, we analyse how traditional trade union organizations, practices and formulations have been challenged, thus generating new or re-adapted forms of trade unionism in a new field such as that of digital platforms. This research focuses on the case of digital platforms for food delivery and couriers in Spain.
