This book examines two key and contrasting Amazon platforms that differ in how they organize workers: its e-commerce platform and digital labor platform (Mechanical Turk). With access to the people who are working at the heart of these platforms, it explores how different working conditions alienate workers, and how, despite these conditions, workers organize within their political-economic contexts to express their agency in traditional and alternative ways. Written for social scientists studying and researching the platform economy, this is a timely and important analysis of work and workers on the (digital) shop floor.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Sarrah KassemGenre: Business & FinanceTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Computing & InternetItem Weight: 1.08 poundsgISBN-10: 1529226546Type: Politics & GovernmentRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
