Abstract

Technologies perform in Janus faced ways. They not only pose new interpretative and regulatory challenges, but they can be a tool for solving the questions they generate. In the paper, we first observe the processes of workers disaggregative and competitive isolation, that accompany the spread of new forms of work; then we focus on the role of technology as a vehicle for disseminating forms of collective aggregation that arose precisely in the context of digital work. The focus is therefore on the Workers’ Assembly (Article 20, law n. 300/1970, so called “Statuto dei lavoratori”), to propose its revitalization via “Social media”.
