Tras años de decadencia del activismo laboral, recientemente han surgido formas militantes de movilización de los trabajadores en la plataforma italiana de la economía y el sector de la logística, exhibiendo novedosas formas de organización y repertorios de acción. En el presente documento se investigan dos casos que están en curso desde 2011, a saber, las movilizaciones de los porteadores de logística y los mensajeros de entrega de alimentos. Ambos casos parecen desconcertantes, ya que los trabajadores se han movilizado en circunstancias normalmente asociadas a la no movilización, es decir, un lugar de trabajo caracterizado por la innovación tecnológica y por la ausencia o ineficacia de los sindicatos tradicionales. ¿Por qué y cómo se han producido esas movilizaciones? Sostenemos que estos trabajadores superaron con éxito esas circunstancias confiando en los recursos y oportunidades relacionados con su lugar de trabajo y ajenos a él, que han podido crear y desarrollar a lo largo de varios años. Recopilamos datos a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas con trabajadores, representantes sindicales, abogados, directivos y participamos en reuniones políticas, huelgas y actos de protesta en cuatro ciudades italianas entre 2018 y 2019.Citas
