Dear colleagues,

I'll be hosting the next Monday Night Seminar (my first in-person event at UofT) on platform workers: collectivities and organizing. Please join us and spread the word! Thanks.

Platform Workers: Collectivities and Organizing

FEBRUARY 6, 6:00-8:00 PM

Join us at the Coach House on February 6th for a conversation between Jennifer Scott (Gig Workers United) and Dr. Moira Weigel (Northeastern University) focusing on the collective and organizing challenges of platform workers. There is a myth that those who work through digital platforms would be unorganized, yet recent history has shown this to be a lie. There is a lot of evidence of workers' struggles in various sectors (delivery, ride-hailing, micro-workers, tech workers, care work, creators, streamers, e-commerce) around the world.

Together in a conversation moderated by Rafael Grohmann (University of Toronto), we explore several questions:

• What working conditions have platform workers been subjected to in recent years?
• What has already been built in terms of solidarity among workers?
• What is needed to push and guarantee decent work?
• What alternatives are on the horizon in relation to public policies?

Workers, unions and worker collectives from all sectors are welcome.

This Monday Night Seminar is organized by the Centre's Selfhood, Identities, and Collectivities of Platform Workers Working Group.
