Lavoro di piattaforma e indebolimento della società salariale. Il caso del food delivery bolognese

Digital technologies are ever more encapsulated in a wide range of social domains and are significantly affecting labour. In this contribute, the author investigates the platform labour and the weakening of the wage-earning society in the context of Bologna city of food. In fact, it possible to outline continuities between the precarious working conditions of the latter and the platform economy embedding. Yet, Bologna is one of the main nodes in Europe regarding the experimentation of municipal regulation of platform economy. In fact, the “Chart of rights digital workers in the urban context” represent the first urban normative tools in Europe which establish, although with no direct regulatory power, a minimum labor right base for digital workers. The author adopts a qualitative methodology, by using in-depth interviews to high qualified witness. Finally, the author introduces a new concept useful to capture the tension between diverging ideas on digital platforms and the capabilities to govern them: “digitarchy”.
