<p class="x_Standard" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 5.65pt; font-size: medium;">As tech billionaires align with Trump, they are also launching a renewed assault on labour through artificial intelligence and alienating tactics. But for now, it still takes workers to
make fortunes for the bosses, and collective action is again on the rise. The rank and file are now coming from precarious new “gig jobs” and drawing strength from a class of worker who does what computers still cannot. Previously thought to be “unorganizable,”
these workers are part of a North American movement that is reaffirming faith in collective revolutionary action through new methods of organizing, new ways of association, and a new synthesis of traditional labour activities with original research. To capture
this growing class consciousness, the Capacitor Collective has conducted ten illuminating interviews with platform workers and organizers whose efforts align traditional motives with new tactics in a text that shakes up the worker <span data-markjs="true" class="mark4yz8u9eq9" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb="">inquiry</span> tradition
and imagines new ways to produce knowledge with and for the movement.</p>
<p class="x_Standard" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 5.65pt; font-size: medium;">Capacitor Collective is a research collective dedicated to digital worker <span data-markjs="true" class="mark4yz8u9eq9" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb="">inquiry</span> rooted
in labour organizing within and against digital capitalism. The collective includes: Enda Brophy, Julie Chen, Alessandro Delfanti, Brian Dolber, Lilly Irani, and Tamara Kneese.</p>
