Collective organization in platform companies in Argentina: between labour union traditions and adaptive strategies

Abstract

This study is a contribution to the debate around the possibilities of workers’ collective action and union organization in platform capitalism (Vandaele 2018; Collier et al. 2017; Tassinari and Maccarrone 2019). In brief, this debate engages with the organizational difficulties facing workers who find themselves in a paradigm of work in which companies promote the figure of the entrepreneur and self-employment, refusing to recognize the existence of an employment relationship, in practice as well as before the law.
