Abstract

Platform çalışması günümüzde yaygınlaşmaya başlayan standart dışı yeni bir çalışma şeklidir. Sermayenin birikim krizine karşı geliştirdiği bir strateji olan platform çalışması, üçlü bir yapıyı içermektedir. Bu yapıda geleneksel çalışma ilişkilerindeki işçi, işveren ve işyeri kavramları yerlerini platform çalışanı, müşteri ve platform kavramlarına bırakmaktadır. Neoliberal esneklik ve kuralsızlaştırma politikaların bir uzantısı olarak değerlendirebileceğimiz platform çalışmasında, platformlar kendisini bir teknolojik aracı olarak tanımlamakta ve işçilerini kendi hesabına çalışan ya da bağımsız yüklenici olarak sınıflandırmaktadır. Esnek çalışma süreleri, öngörülemeyen gelir akışı, örgütlenme zorlukları ve sosyal koruma eksikliği ile platform çalışmasında işçiler güvencesizleştirilmektedir.

Platform work and the increasıng precarity of labor

Abstract

Platform work is a new, non-standard way of working that is beginning to spread today. Platform work is a strategy developed by capital against the accumulation crisis, includes a tripartite structure. In this structure, the concepts of employee, employer and workplace in traditional labor relations are replaced by the concepts of platform employee, customer and platform. In the platform study, which we can evaluate as an extension of neoliberal flexibility and deregulation policies, platforms define themselves as a technological intermediary and classify their workers as self-employed or independent contractors. With flexible working hours, unpredictable income flow, organizational difficulties and lack of social protection, workers are precarized in platform work.
