我们研究了印度两个著名的食品配送平台Swiggy和Zomato如何使用算法控制和传统劳动力管理策略相结合来生产受管理的数字劳动力。我们的研究结果来自对13名食品配送员的采访和对新闻媒体报道的批评性话语分析。我们发现,这两个平台结合了联合收割机的计件工资结构调整,颗粒化的做法,并使用仁慈的语言作为新自由主义的社会控制机制。我们发现,这种技术治理和战略管理实践的结合是一种相互构成的控制方法,重组劳动过程,提取工人的遵守和同意,并防止工作中断。我们发现,当代平台公司借鉴了历史上在工业劳动力管理中部署的战略。通过研究旧的和新的社会控制和剥削制度如何在当代平台设计中战略性地交织在一起,我们对平台劳动力做出了历史性的理解,超越了对“传统”劳动力管理实践和最近算法控制模式的二元解释。我们的研究结果有助于最近在技术劳动和算法控制的辩论,通过研究当代不稳定的工作条件如何重新激活某些过去的控制形式,并在这样做的过程中使极端的过度劳累,疲惫,加速和伤害正常化。
We examine how two prominent food delivery platforms in India, Swiggy and Zomato, produce a managed digital workforce using a combination of algorithmic control and traditional labor management strategies. Our findings draw from interviews conducted with 13 food delivery workers and a critical discourse analysis of news media coverage. We found that the two platforms combine piece wage restructuring, granular datafication practices, and the use of benevolent language as neoliberal social control mechanisms. We find that this combination of technological governance and strategic managerial practices is a mutually constitutive method of control that restructures labor processes, extracts workers’ compliance and consent, and prevents work disruption. We show that contemporary platform companies draw from strategies that have historically been deployed in industrial labor management. By examining how older and newer regimes of social control and exploitation are strategically intertwined in contemporary platform design, we contribute a historically situated understanding of platform labor that moves beyond dualistic interpretations of “traditional” labor management practices and more recent algorithmic modes of control. Our findings contribute to recent debates in tech labor and algorithmic control by examining how contemporary conditions of precarious work reactivate certain past forms of control and in doing so normalize extreme overwork, exhaustion, speedups, and injuries.
