Abstract

AbstractPrecariousness of the Colombian urban economy provides an ecosystem for the development and expansion of digital platforms, intersecting informal working relations with digital surveillance. Reconstructing legal obstacles to gaining recognition as legal and formal workers, it is argued that platforms have assembled a techno-legal network which translates discussions about workers’ rights into the less regulated arena of information and communication technologies. The role of ‘regulatory displacement’ is examined to analyse the evolution of digital platforms for food delivery workers. Drawing on a review of the regulation of it and labour, discussed in Congress in 2017–2018, we explore the regulatory expulsions that digital workers experience, analysing this information with a grounded theory approach, in which we have followed discursive patterns that emerge from legal documents. Addressing this strategic use of the law is key to understanding and overcoming obstacles that platform workers face in their attempts to organize in the Global South.

技术驱逐:哥伦比亚的平台送餐工人和工作条例
【摘要】哥伦比亚城市经济的不稳定性为数字平台的发展和扩张提供了一个生态系统,将非正式的工作关系与数字监控相结合。重建获得合法和正式工人认可的法律障碍,认为平台已经组装了一个技术-法律网络,将关于工人权利的讨论转化为监管较少的信息和通信技术领域。研究了“监管位移”的作用,以分析外卖工人数字平台的演变。根据2017-2018年国会讨论的对it和劳工监管的审查,我们探讨了数字工人所经历的监管驱逐,用扎根的理论方法分析了这些信息,其中我们遵循了法律文件中出现的话语模式。解决这一法律的战略使用是理解和克服平台工人在试图在全球南方组织时面临的障碍的关键。
