“…When a courier does not pay attention to this dimension of work, he is said to have a 'shitty cargo'. This aesthetic preoccupation with the arrangement of goods has already been identified in the scientific literature among order pickers, who do not hesitate to qualify whether the preparations are 'beautiful palettes' or on the contrary 'monsters' (Gaborieau, 2012). Behind the aesthetic dimension, Gaborieau shows there was a whole concept of the quality of the work that had to be preserved and transmitted.…”

The delivery sector has undergone profound changes in the way work is organised, particularly under the influence of platform capitalism and its algorithmic management. This phenomenon exacerbates processes of work precarisation that have been underway for decades. Alternatives have started to emerge, known as platform cooperativism, which aim to rethink the organisation of work. Despite their long socio-economic history, cooperatives have not been extensively researched from a physical and mental health perspective. The results of our investigation into the psychodynamics of work among couriers in a French cargo bicycle delivery cooperative show that health-related aspects – inseparable from the subjective relationship to work – shed light on individuals’ choices to embark on an alternative ‘entrepreneurial adventure’. We suggest that this way of working could signal an alternative to the model proposed by neoliberal economics, with their deleterious effects on health, on the collective, and more globally on politics.

“…Ces différences reflètent le processus de disqualification de la main-d'oeuvre ouvrière auquel participent l'intérim et les systèmes de primes de précarité (tableau et encadré 2) : pour de nombreux et nombreuses intérimaires, les conditions de rémunération dans les entrepôts sont des critères de mobilité plus importants que la nature des emplois occupés 27 . Par ailleurs, l'intégration des salarié•es passe par les primes de productivité, ce qui conduit à différencier la main-d'oeuvre en fonction de la performance physique 28 . Si elles ont été mises en place à Grand Magasin, ces primes de productivité ne sont pas individualisées.…”

Les rapports des ouvrières et ouvriers de la logistique à l’ordre des entrepôts sont analysés ici à partir des résultats d’une enquête collective menée sur trois sites, l’un à Marne-la-Vallée, dans la seconde couronne est-parisienne, l’autre dans la banlieue sud-est de Francfort-sur-le-Main, le troisième à Kassel, dans le centre de l’Allemagne. Nous soulignons dans un premier temps la façon dont la structuration du groupe ouvrier au sein des entrepôts contribue, via le rôle d’encadrement des représentants syndicaux locaux, à isoler ses membres et à développer des formes de légitimation ou de loyauté à l’égard de la direction de l’entrepôt. Nous examinons ensuite les formes de contestation qui parviennent malgré tout à émerger chez les travailleuses et travailleurs. Le plus souvent exprimées en coulisses, en dehors des entrepôts, ces prises de parole et défections ouvrières sont toujours individualisées et prennent place de façon isolée dans la cité logistique au sein d’un groupe ouvrier segmenté.

Fragmented But Widespread Microconflicts: Current Limits and Future Possibilities for Organizing Precarious Workers in the French Logistics Sector

2022

The logistics sector in France is emblematic of contemporary labor processes in the service sector, where working conditions are at the root of a long-term, but silent, health crisis. Although the unionization of French logistics workers has gained some strength since the early 2000s, struggles over wages and working conditions remained segmented and local, and were unable to contain the progressive casualization of the employment or to counter the intensification of work. This article is a reflection on the fragmented and low-intensity conflictuality of the French logistics sector. Drawing on three ethnographic studies and on quantitative data, we analyze labor conflicts in various segments of the warehouse industry during the last decade in France, and identify some of the limits of French trade union strategies toward organizing logistics workers. We show that the massive use of temporary work and the weakness of the efforts made by traditional trade unions federations prevent the emergence of a larger labor movement in the sector. We argue that the fragmentation and the very high turnover that characterizes the French warehouse industry should encourage trade unions to invest more resources, often local and rooted in logistics zones, from outside the workplace.
