摘要

在本文中,我们提出了我们所谓的“数字工人反馈基础设施”(DWFI)的实证研究;这些是基于数字技术的通信系统,允许通过全球价值链(GVC)中工人不同形式的信息输入创建所谓的“反馈数据”。本文概述了目前全球价值链中50多个dwfi,并询问了以管理为导向和以工人为中心的数字反馈基础设施在使用工人数据方面的主要区别。在第一部分中,我们追溯了dwfi在不同趋势交叉点的出现:通过审计持续不改善工作条件,永久政治化,以及通过劳工和活动家网络以及新数字技术的发展对这一事实的争论。在第二部分中,我们详细阐述了dwfi的主要特征,并分析了全球价值链“道德”审计和监测制度背景下的潜在缺陷。第三,我们使用我们的数据集来概述dwfi的异质性。我们特别关注民间社会开发工具的例子,因为我们认为它们提供了一种来自底层的工人反馈技术的潜力,这可能有助于更好地监督工人权利,并促进工作场所和全球价值链之间更民主的协调。

Digital worker feedback infrastructures: The digitalisation of worker rights monitoring in global value chains
Abstract In this paper, we present empirical research on what we call ‘digital worker feedback infrastructures’ (DWFI); these are communication systems based on digital technologies that allow for creating so-called ‘feedback data’ via different forms of information input of workers in global value chains (GVC). The paper provides an overview of over 50 current DWFIs in GVCs and asks about the main differences between management-oriented and worker-centred digital feedback infrastructures in their usage of worker data. In the first part, we trace the emergence of DWFIs at the intersection of different trends: the continuous non-improvement of working conditions through auditing, the permanent politicisation, and contestation of this fact through labour and activist networks as well as the development of new digital technologies. In the second section, we elaborate the main features of DWFIs and analyse potential shortcomings in the context of the ‘ethical’ audit and monitoring regime for GVCs. Third, we use our dataset to present an overview of the heterogeneity of DWFIs. We pay particular attention to examples of civil society developed tools as we suggest that they provide a glimpse of the potential of worker feedback technologies from below, which could contribute to better monitoring of worker rights and facilitate a more democratic coordination of workplaces and GVCs.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
