New Thematic Issue on Dynamics of Mobilizing and Unionizing Mobility Platform Workers. A Cross-Country, Cross-Industry Analysis
It's with great pleasure that we launch our new issue (78-3) on " Dynamics of Mobilizing and Unionizing Mobility Platform Workers. A Cross-Country, Cross-Industry Analysis", edited by Fabien Brugière (Senior Lecturer, Université de Strasbourg, SAGE laboratory), Donna Kesselman (Professor, Université Paris-Est Créteil, IMAGER laboratory) and Jean Vandewattyne (Professor, Université de Mons, Service de Psychologie du travail).
“The articles in this special issue attempt to account for these emerging dynamics of workers struggle in platform capitalism through a comparative analysis of the relations that impel autonomous groupings and other protest initiatives towards more structured collective representation and unionization.

The eight articles provide insight into comparative analysis and debate about union dynamics in the era of platform capitalism. We bring together a geographically diverse range of case studies: three from Europe (Belgium, Spain, France); two from South America (Brazil); and three from Asia (China, India, Japan). ”
