“The memory of how workers have been treated during the pandemic is likely to linger.”
Intervening in the conditions of production is something that trade unions have been able to do with a great deal of success, including reducing working hours, improving legal standards on health and safety,, and more. Shaping what is produced as well as the conditions of its production is harder. We don’t want to just produce the same kind of destructive and environmentally damaging things but under better conditions. This is where something like a Green New Deal comes in.
It’s not that we entirely lose our sense of selves through this process. People are pretty good at splitting off their inner thoughts from a projected appearance , but it is often quite a tiring and demanding process, and that has really negative effects on workers.You explain “new work” as something underpinned by the invisibilized labor of the supply chain, like warehouse workers, as well as the gig economy.
Despite this seemingly attractive flexibility, new work lacked a certain depth. New work is flexible , based around the management of emotions , undertaken by allegedly decentralized “teams” over supply chains that extend across the global market. Work has the appearance of informality;, promising to be indistinct from sociability — offering friendship, or even family — in both good and bad jobs. New work is very good at capturing something human and putting it to work.
In the book, I give the example of the quote boards at station entrances. A few years ago, workers in a London tube station decided, of their own accord, to write quotes on the service updates whiteboard in their ticket hall. The quotes were a mixture of the sentimental, the humorous, the earnest, the capital-I-inspirational, and occasionally, the genuinely moving. People took pictures of the board and shared them on social media.
