Abstract
The organisation of work through platforms has accelerated the process of fragmentation, casualisation and erosion of the 'standard employment relationship' between workers and employers. This chapter explores the philosophical foundations and structures of worker voice in the gig economy in light of these tectonic shifts in the organisation of work. It identifies three ideal-type strategies: 'exit', 'constitutional rights', and a 'radical' republican approach. The chapter concludes by suggesting that the increasing engagement with 'structural' accounts of domination and injustice has the greatest promise in developing the research agenda on voice in the gig economy.
