Research on digital unions
I'm looking for research on union(like) structures made possible by digitalization, surely this presents opportunity for novel ways to organize, different from the standard union model.
But I'm having a hard time finding info on this, or why it has/hasn't worked out (yet)
ahh also found the article I read recently that highlights some of the digital challenges modern unionization faces https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/
Unfortunately wasn't able to find the full text for this anywhere, even sci-hub etc just have a single-page pdf with just the abstract. Emailed the author, but if anyone could find it that'd be greatly appreciated! https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3375627.3375816
I did find an article by the same author which is very interesting as well,
Drivers of Disruption: How Jakarta's Mobility Platform Drivers Understand, Transform
and Resist the Algorithms that Manage Them [(Qadri, 2022)](https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/146296)
Found after one of the passages in the article ["Algorithmized but not Atomized? How Digital Platforms Engender New Forms of Worker Solidarity in Jakarta" (Qadri, 2020)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3375627.3375816)
Which analyses 'tuyul apps', third-party apps that enhance the gigworker's official apps in favor of the workers
