Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article introduces a special issue of Work Organisation, Labour & Globalisation on "recent debates around tech workers in the global economy, with a focus on their subjectivities and labour conflicts." Diamond open access (that is, there are no access fees, and no publication fees). "High expectations and aspirations have turned into what some commentators have described as a 'techlash', provoking political mobilisation, unionisation and regulatory demands from actors across the political spectrum... Economic turbulence, political struggles and industrial disputes have transformed the once-hailed profession into a more contested field of employment." Timely, relevant.
