| description | <p class="first" id="d221062e104">This article explores the notion of
<i>logistical connectivity</i> as a twofold and ambivalent lens. On one hand, connectivity can be seen as a pervasive
logistical tool for labour exploitation and surveillance. On the other, it opens up
opportunities to establish new kinds of social relations and forms of worker organisation.
The analysis draws on empirical data gathered during 2016 in Turin, a city in northern
Italy, during mobilisations by Foodora workers. The findings show that logistical
connectivity constitutes an unprecedented form of pervasive control, but - under certain
conditions - can be shaken and reversed by workers and become a mode of mobilisation
and self-organising.
