Abstract

AbstractIt has been five years since the first strikes of Deliveroo workers in London in 2016. Since then, workers have continued to organise. The campaigns have involved five different aspects: first, wildcat strike action; second, networks and internationalisation; third, union organising with the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (iwgb); fourth, legal campaigning; and fifth, wider leverage campaigns. What is less understood so far is the different strengths and weaknesses of these aspects, and how they have contributed to the build of workers’ self-organisation and power at Deliveroo. This article explores the different aspects and considers the effectiveness of each. It concludes by considering what can be learned from these struggles for the understanding of platform work and trade union organising today.

英国Deliveroo平台工人组织:从自发罢工到建立权力
自2016年伦敦Deliveroo员工首次罢工以来,已经过去了五年。从那以后,工人们继续组织起来。运动涉及五个不同的方面:第一,自发罢工行动;第二,网络与国际化;第三,与大不列颠独立工人联盟(iwgb)联合组织工会;四是法律宣传;第五,更广泛的杠杆活动。迄今为止,人们不太了解的是这些方面的不同优势和劣势,以及它们如何促进了Deliveroo员工自我组织和权力的建立。本文探讨了不同的方面,并考虑了每个方面的有效性。最后,它考虑了从这些斗争中可以学到什么,以理解今天的平台工作和工会组织。
