The second episode of our podcast, Platform Predicament – Making Sense of a Datafied Future of Work, delves into the power that algorithms and data hold, in running this platform model of work. Experts explain how algorithmic management and control by platform apps has major implications for working conditions and worker autonomy, and how workers’ groups, through new-age organizing, are negotiating workers’ rights in this algorithmmified world of work.
