Information Age

• In Nigeria they are angry over the rising cost of living and in South Africa, municipal workers are striking for better wages.
• But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to build sustainable worker organisations as companies employ more people on a casual basis in the digital age.
• In our new book, Recasting Workers’ Power: Work and Inequality in the Shadow of the Digital Age, we focus on workers’ power.

Three case studies

• We found the factory workers were using a range of tools – old and new – to organise.
• But they also drew on old practices (institutional power) by taking up cases through the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration and the amended Labour Relations Act.
• Both offer the possibility of workers being able to get permanent jobs in the company at which they work.
• In Kampala, we found that the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers’ Union was also using new approaches to organise workers.
• Importantly, where trade unions have taken up the issues of informal workers, unions have also undergone fundamental changes.

What next?

• But it also suggests some grounds for optimism in the new and hybrid forms of organisation and the coalitions that are emerging.
• The question raised by these findings is whether these embryonic forms of worker organisation are sustainable.
