This article explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the work and life experiences of platform workers' and how workers have responded to the outbreak in Poland. Platform workers have been exposed to substantial fluctuations of demand during the pandemic, magnifying the distortions existing in an unregulated asymmetrical employment relationship diverging from the standard employment relationship. Findings illustrate how workers have attempted to reduce the disruptions underpinning the existence of this unregulated asymmetrical relationship by adopting different strategies, which resemble Hirschman's typology of loyalty, voice and exit. We explain the choice of strategies by highlighting workers' different access to resources and institutional capabilities, as well as by variation in their orientations.
本文探讨了新冠疫情如何影响平台工作者的工作和生活经历，以及波兰的工作者如何应对疫情爆发。在疫情期间，平台工作者面临着需求的大幅波动，这加剧了与标准雇佣关系不同的、不受监管的不对称雇佣关系中存在的扭曲现象。研究结果表明，工作者如何试图通过采用不同策略来减少支撑这种不受监管的不对称关系存在的干扰，这些策略类似于赫希曼的忠诚、发声和退出类型学。我们通过强调工作者获取资源和制度能力的不同，以及他们取向的差异来解释策略的选择。
