Labor-organization specifics shape whether platform workers form narrow or broad solidarities.

Evidence

We show that different working conditions allowed Amazon drivers, who partly share a physical working space, to develop more traditional union strategies, whereas couriers had to rely on external support from local social movement organizations. The ensuing construction of social borders also differed, with Amazon drivers focusing on a more bounded form of solidarity, while couriers instead developed a broader—and, to a certain extent, more political—self-conceptualization. — Donatella della Porta et al., Mobilizing Against the Odds, 19
