This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Isha Bhallamudi and Anushree Gupta can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2025/11/series-introduction-the-politics-of-writing-about-platform-workers-organizing/. About the post: We are a group of scholars and researchers who work with gig and platform worker unions in India in various capacities. We form the India chapter of the Labor Tech Research Network collective, and have been meeting regularly from across the globe to share cross-sectoral organizing strategies, track the political landscape around gig & platform unions, and discuss research and reflections from our place-based engagements. Our work sits at the critical intersection of scholarship and activism. It involves amplifying workers’ voices, supporting unionisation efforts, and supporting workers in their struggles to lead more dignified and just working lives. Our discussions have inspired us to put together this blog series on the politics of writing about platform workers’ organizing.
