ABSTRACT

This article discusses new practices of collectivity among drivers in the app-based transport sector in Indonesia, with a case study of motorbike taxi drivers in the country’s two major platform companies Go-Jek and Grab. It describes the emergence of transport-related digital platforms and replacement of indigenous transport. The author analyses the labour process and labour control in app-based transport and how drivers resist such algorithmic control. It also highlights the current three models of drivers’ organizing (community, association and union), and argues that drivers’ practices of collectivity offer invaluable lessons and insights into the development of a new strategy of labour solidarity, relevant for the broader labour movement.

摘要

本文以该国两大平台公司 Go-Jek 和 Grab 的摩托车出租车司机为例，讨论了印度尼西亚基于应用程序的交通部门的司机集体合作的新做法。它描述了与交通相关的数字平台的出现和本土交通的替代。作者分析了基于应用程序的交通中的劳动过程和劳动控制，以及司机如何抵制这种算法控制。它还强调了当前三种司机组织模式（社区、协会和工会），并认为司机的集体实践为制定与更广泛的劳工运动相关的新劳工团结战略提供了宝贵的经验教训和见解。
