This year, the special Mayday edition of DataSyn puts the spotlight on data workers. From critical reflections, to artistic practice, to the voices of these data workers themselves, this month we bring you a series of perspectives from this crucial site of labor struggle today. Our first piece recounts the experiences of the Data Workers' Inquiry's core team, drawing important lessons about the contemporary conditions of the sector. Our second and third pieces chart new territory for DS, as we go straight to the source and get some powerful stories from workers themselves. Our fourth piece engages a filmmaker for a thoughtful discussion on data-work in the South. Finally, as a bonus feature, we bring you an investigation into the content-creator economy from the standpoint of labor.
