摘要

多年来,在物流领域的不同参与者之间一直在进行价值获取的斗争,这给传统物流活动中的工人带来了越来越大的压力。以数字企业对企业(B2B)平台形式出现的新参与者正在激增,尤其是在货运领域,这进一步挑战了本已竞争激烈的领域。基于全球生产网络(GPN)方法,本研究解决了B2B平台如何影响物流生产网络中的劳动力,以及面对不断推进的平台化,劳动力中介的做法正在出现的问题。该研究对在德国公路货运部门经营的各种行动者进行了采访。结果表明,数字B2B平台由于其中介功能,对物流生产网络中参与者的包容和排斥产生了直接影响,不仅在劳动条件方面引发了一场逐底竞争,而且还产生了越来越多的物流偶然地理。本文通过研究以前被忽视的B2B平台,并阐明全球生产网络中的劳动力可能受到新代理人(如数字平台)影响的不同方式,为平台方面的文献做出了贡献。

Trucking (un)limited – the impact of digital platforms on labour in production networks of logistics
Abstract For many years, struggles over value capture have been taking place between different actors in the logistics sector, creating ever more pressure for workers in traditional activities of logistics. New actors, in the form of digital business-to-business (B2B) platforms, which are proliferating especially in the freight transport sector, are further challenging the already contested field. Based on the Global Production Networks (GPN) approach, this study addresses the question of how B2B platforms affect labour in production networks of logistics, and what labour agency practices are emerging in the face of advancing platformisation. The study draws on interviews with various actors operating in the road freight transport sector in Germany. The results show that digital B2B platforms, due to their intermediary function, have a direct impact on the inclusion and exclusion of actors involved in production networks of logistics, and induce not only a race to the bottom in terms of labour conditions, but also produce increasingly contingent geographies of logistics. This paper contributes to the literature on platforms by examining previously neglected B2B platforms and shedding light on the different ways that labour in global production networks can be affected by new agents, such as digital platforms.
