“…These workers may enjoy greater autonomy, but the boundaries between work and leisure time are blurring (Lambert et al, 2020) and workers are increasingly subject to forms of digital monitoring previously beyond managerial control (Sewell and Taskin, 2015). The reduction in face-to-face social contact is also changing the way work is done and may reduce its meaningfulness (Maillot et al, 2022), but there are also new opportunities for solidarity, collective action and representation (Öngün and Yon, 2021), notably through organisational creativity and the emergence of new grass-roots organisations (Vandaele, 2021).…”

“…This takes place either via (self-)mobilization of gig workers themselves or via their representation by existing trade unions. Such initiatives relate to two different ways of conceiving collective organization and representation: the logic of membership on the one hand where the objective is worker organization; the logic of influence on the other hand where efforts are rooted in the institutional logic of the national industrial relations systems (Vandaele 2021). Hence, grass-roots initiatives, often with horizontal and combative features, coexist with conventional trade union actions, characterized by more vertical and bargaining-oriented operational modalities (Lenaerts et al 2018).…”

“…El concepto recursos de poder ha sido abordado desde una variedad de enfoques de investigación (para una descripción general, ver Senén González y Haidar, 2014;Schmalz et al, 2018): el enfoque clásico de recursos de poder (Esping-Andersen, 1985;Korpi, 1985;Robinson, 1998), el enfoque de movilización de recursos (Tilly, 1978;Kelly, 1998) y, más recientemente, desde una línea de investigación que relaciona específicamente los recursos de poder con las luchas del movimiento obrero, el debate sobre la crisis de los sindicatos y la renovación sindical (Wright, 2000;Silver, 2003). Esta última línea de indagación nos interesa particularmente, teniendo en cuenta que esta perspectiva sobre los recursos de poder ofrece un concepto útil no solo para analizar la dinámica sindical, sino también para reflexionar sobre el proceso actual de organización de los trabajadores y la construcción de intereses (colectivos) en un modelo de negocios (las plataformas) que, por su carácter negador de las relaciones laborales, pone en tensión al sindicalismo tradicional.…”

“…En lo que respecta a la economía de plataforma, teniendo en cuenta la escasa presencia de los sindicatos, proponemos un concepto de recurso de poder asociativo no centrado en los sindicatos, sino referido fundamentalmente a la capacidad de los trabajadores para construir solidaridades y una identidad colectiva y definir intereses y poder colectivo para hacer frente a las empresas. En el contexto del trabajo de plataforma, el poder asociativo depende de las reuniones entre trabajadores, la construcción y socialización de sentimientos de injusticia y, como sugiere el enfoque de la movilización (Tilly, 1978;Kelly, 1998;Darlington, 2002), las capacidades de los activistas para dar forma, organizar, socializar y movilizar estos sentimientos.…”
