Platform Unionism

The platform economy is generating numerous impacts on the whole of our society. It is one of the faces of the digital economy that carries with it processes of inequality and loss of rights, both in the field of labour and in the rights associated with the city. At the same time, processes of resistance and emerging forms of social organisation are emerging, such as platform unionism as a response to the corporate platforms of the digital economy. In this roundtable we have the experience of three processes of social organisation that are born as a result of the impact of these platforms on their ways of life and work, and that not only organise themselves to defend their rights but also open the door to rethink the platforms so that they are at the service of the people and their rights.

Moderated by Efraín Foglia.
