Building labour power in the platform economy: A comparative analysis of worker struggles in German and Norwegian food and grocery delivery
This study undertakes a comparative analysis of delivery workers’ struggles in Norway and Germany. Through the theoretical lens of the power resources approach, we analyse how delivery workers in Berlin and Oslo combine associational, structural, institutional, coalitional and discursive power resources, responding to different institutionalised frameworks of industrial relations. We make three contributions to debates on worker agency and resist…
Covid ‐19 Pandemic: A Catalyst for More Comprehensive Unemployment Benefits for the Self‐Employed in Scandinavia
Although welfare state developments are often researched as long‐term processes, crises such as the pandemic may induce short‐term reactions with long‐term effects. This article delves into the changes made to the income security of self‐employed workers in Denmark, Norway and Sweden during the pandemic and throughout 2023. The social partners in Scandinavia could be expected to be involved in the development of new income security institutions o…
The Working Environment of the Future
This report explores occupational and safety (OSH) risks and work environment challenges associated with digitalization and non-standard forms of employment in the Nordic countries. The chapters analyse how new technologies and work arrangement can both create new and exacerbate existing work environment challenges based on reviews of existing research literature and empirical case studies of platform-mediated gig work in the Nordic countries. Th…
Shifting gears: How platform companies maintain power in app-based food delivery in Norway
App-based food delivery relies on business models centred on the use of self-employed persons, combined with algorithmic management. In Norway, however, delivery platforms initially adapted the more traditional model: couriers were given employment contracts, joined an established trade union and negotiated a collective agreement. Nevertheless, the market entry of companies reliant on the self-employed, which expanded during the pandemic, prompte…
Platform work in the Nordic models: Issues, cases and responses
This report explores how the platform economy is evolving in the Nordic countries and how its evolution is influenced by the Nordic labour market models and vice-versa. Here, we include all the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden), except Iceland, where platform work is still very marginal. While remaining a marginal phenomenon in the Nordic countries, platform work can be seen as one important case in which many key aspects of …
Nordic Labour Markets and the Sharing Economy
This report presents a preliminary knowledge status about implications of the sharing economy for labour markets and employment relations in the Nordic countries. It also reviews how the Nordic countries and their social partners approach the sharing economy and issues relating, amongst other, to its legality, regulation, taxation, and terms of competition. There is so far scant supply of statistics, data and research in this field. The employmen…
