Platform cooperativism, Worker-owned platforms, Platformization of laborAbstract
This article aims to analyze the emergence of worker-owned platforms in the platformization of labor context. The analysis presents six cases in Spain, France, and Brazil considering: production processes and work organization, technological challenges and construction of platforms, uses of social media for promoting organization and communication between workers, cooperation between cooperatives, and the future of self-managing experiences. The conclusions point to the central role of social media for communication and work organization, and the emergence of cooperation between cooperatives. The emergence of these initiatives may be the beginning of a broader process of digital platforms for the common good.
