This changed in 2021, when they became employees by law. By contrast, delivery platforms in Norway operate under a hybrid system of contracting (Jesnes, 2019) that lead to a collective agreement in 2019 between Foodora riders and the trade union organizing transport workers. This paper compares these different outcomes to argue that the industrial relations background heavily determines actors' strategies in the platform economy. It proceeds as follows: First part delves on Eurostat data to link each industrial relation model with its economic and labour market background. Second part contextualizes the situation of drivers, their working conditions and analyses the actions put in place to claim their rights. Third part compares the strategies followed by the platforms involved and how these might be influenced by the organizational power of the other actors. Fourth part focusses on the role of unions to analyse how the institutional involvement might shape their response to the new challenges posed by the platform work. Fifth part discusses to what extent the different strategies adopted in Norway and in Spain are ad-hoc solutions for a context of precarious work or whether these could be appropriated in a wider context of digital work where tasks require higher levels of skillsUniversitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
