Descripción del título

The platform economy ('gig' economy) in its two variants as localized services (Uber, Deliveroo, Glovo) and as work in the cloud (Crowdwork, Amazon Turk, Upwork) is a new growing business model that presents important challenges for trade unions. The paper analyses the characteristics of the platform economy from a union organizing perspective using the union power resources approach. In a second step, experiences with collective action and union organizing in this sector are examined based on empirical studies, documents and activist websites and the author's conversations with platform workers. The difficulties and potentialities of union action in the platform economy are identified. The conclusions classify the distinct forms of collective organization and reflect on the impacts of this business model beyond the sector itself for the future of digital capitalism
La economía de plataformas ('gig' economy) en sus dos variantes como servicios localizados (Uber, Deliveroo, Glovo) y como trabajo en la nube (Crowdwork, Amazon Turk, Upwork) es un nuevo modelo de negocio en crecimiento que presenta importantes retos para el sindicalismo. El artículo analiza las características de la economía de plataformas desde una perspectiva de organización sindical utilizando el enfoque de los recursos de poder sindical. En un segundo paso se examina experiencias con la acción colectiva y la organización sindical en este sector basándose en estudios empíricos, documentos y páginas web de activistas y en conversaciones del autor con trabajadores de plataformas. A partir de ahí se identifican las dificultades y potencialidades de la acción sindical en la economía de plataformas. En las conclusiones se resume las distintas formas de organización colectiva encontrados y se reflexiona acerca del significado de este modelo de negocio más allá del propio sector para el futuro del capitalismo digital
