本章指出当代资本主义和国家实践的结构性不平等，这些不平等构成了新冠肺炎大流行的背景。它显示了大流行如何揭示和放大了先前存在的种族主义、分类和性别不平等。报告注意到不同空间、历史和部门背景下工人组织的不均衡，简要回顾了劳动地理领域对理解工人机构的一些贡献--改变就业条件的能力，甚至推动工人自身利益的更广泛的变革的能力。这一章强调了种族资本主义是如何继续分裂工人的，以及被种族主义的人往往被安排在工资最低、最危险的职业中。在阿伦德哈蒂·罗伊将大流行作为门户的概念的基础上，本章最后倡导未来的劳动地理学家更多地关注自己工作场所的种族和阶级不公正，并与寻求更安全和更有保障的就业和更广泛的渐进变革的其他工人站在一起。
This chapter notes the structural inequalities of contemporary capitalist and state practices that formed the context for the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows how the pandemic both revealed and amplified pre-existing racialized, classed, and gendered inequalities. Noting the unevenness of worker organizing across different spatial, historical, and sectoral contexts, it briefly reviews some contributions of the field of labour geography to the understanding of workers’ agency— the capacity to change employment conditions and even push for wider transformational change in workers' own interests. The chapter highlights how racial capitalism has continued to divide workers and how racialized people have often been structured into the lowest paid and most dangerous occupations. Building on Arundhati Roy’s concept of the pandemic as a portal, the chapter ends by advocating greater attention by future labour geographers to racial and class injustices in their own workplaces and to standing in solidarity with other workers seeking safer and more secure employment and progressive change more generally.
