Abstract

Flexible capitalism fosters the organization of worker time around demand, with challenging consequences for precarious and low-wage workers. I examine how this paradigm of work time fared in a context of economic and social disruption, namely the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on a qualitative study of restaurant work in the U.S., I argue that shifts in power over work time interacted with the moral and relational nature of time, resulting in both contestation and continuity of the flexible time paradigm. This paper has implications for understanding factors shaping change and stability in flexibly organized and precarious work.

灵活的资本主义助长了围绕需求安排工人时间的做法，这给不稳定和低工资工人带来了具有挑战性的后果。我研究了这种工作时间模式在经济和社会混乱的背景下，即 COVID-19 大流行时的表现。通过对美国餐馆工作的定性研究，我认为工作时间权力的变化与时间的道德和关系性质相互作用，导致了灵活时间范式的争议和延续。本文对于理解影响灵活组织和不稳定工作的变化和稳定的因素具有重要意义。
