Worker Organisation UK Taxonomy Struggle

项目摘要

A shift has occurred in labour markets towards types of digital platformmediated work. With increasingly more people working in the 'gigeconomy', trends that challenge traditional meanings of employment andworkplaces are becoming highly significant.Many studies have discussed working conditions within the gig economy(Gandini 2019, Cant 2019). It has also been observed how workers in thissector are engaged in new forms of political organising (Woodcock 2014,Wood & Lehdonvirta 2019). However, this previous research has focusedon limited, or non-UK case studies. There has been no taxonomy of thetypes of worker organisation happening now in the UK. There is a questionabout how these new forms of political organising relate to the social andworking conditions experienced in this sector.Operaismo, a current in Marxism, offers a potentially fruitful way oftheorising the relationship between social and workplace conditions andforms of political organisation in the gig economy. Operaismo'stheoretical innovation was 'class composition analysis'. This form ofanalysis posits a close relationship between workplace conditions andforms of political organisation. This study will examine the social andworkplace conditions present in the gig economy; it will further examinehow these conditions produce new forms of political organisation. Theresult will be a taxonomy of political organisation happening in the UK gigeconomy.

劳动力市场发生了转变，向数字平台介导的工作类型。随着越来越多的人从事“ Gigeconomy”的工作，挑战传统就业和工作场所含义的趋势正在变得非常重要。还观察到了这一部门的工人如何从事新形式的政治组织形式（Woodcock 2014，Wood＆Lehdonvirta 2019）。但是，这项先前的研究重点是有限，或非英国案例研究。目前在英国没有发生过工人组织的类型的分类学。这些新形式的政治组织如何与该部门所经历的社会和工程条件有关。马克思主义目前的Operaismo提供了一种潜在的富有成果的方式，可以理论吉格经济中社会与工作场所条件与政治组织之间的关系。歌剧的理论创新是“阶级组成分析”。这种分析形式提出了工作场所条件与政治组织形式之间的密切关系。这项研究将研究零工经济中存在的社会和工作场所；这将进一步研究这些条件产生新的政治组织形式。在英国，将是对政治组织发生的分类法。
