Sammen med gode kollegaer har jeg skrevet en kronikk om den norske arbeidslivsmodellens "randsoner." Vi argumenterer for at dette er et nødvendig begrep for å forstå utviklingen arbeidslivet og hvorfor det er så vanskelig å sikre ordnede forhold i særlige bransjer.

Randsonen av arbeidslivet – hva skal til for å få ordna forhold?
Nylig lanserte Fafo to rapporter om forholdene i to deler av arbeidslivet, plattformøkonomien og vare- og budbilbransjen.

I am also astonished that Colombian president Gustavo Petro has read the entirety of Marx's Capital three times! What's your excuse?

– Det er en stor nød og desperasjon hos flere av de vi snakker med, sier forskningsleder Kaja Reegård i Fafo.
Nye funn om budbransjen: – Stor nød og desperasjon
De vasker huset ditt, kjører drosja du tar hjem fra byen og leverer mat på døra. En stor del av Norges «nye underklasse» har en app som sjef, ifølge nye rapporter.

Jeg har skrevet en liten Dag Solstadsk analyse av Høyres nye anti-slagord. I Arild Asnes 1970 påpekte nemlig Solstad hvorfor høyresiden er så redde for politiske slagord:
Dag Solstad om frykten for politiske slagord

Apart from it's multi-pronged attack on the state, I shared how Uber is a trend-setter in other ways: “Uber’s personalised wages and prices echo what’s happening with grocery prices, plane tickets, and other goods increasingly being priced with granular data.” www.thetimes.com/business-mon...

Phil A. Neel launched a substack:

“Geopolitics has, quite literally, become a bread-and-butter issue across much of the globe, [...] Whether ecological, economic, or political, it appears that the “planetary” is now, in every sense, immediate.”

Uber's $20bn share buy back is a MASSIVE transfer of their wage theft from exploited workers to greedy investors. It equates to $2,400 for every rider & driver on the platform or just under the total value of fares collected from passengers in Q2 '25. www.ft.com/content/6643...

Socialists must plan for the next economic crisis *before* it happen. Otherwise, the ruling class will use it – again – to suppress workers and further destroy nature.

The people who take their place enter a very diferent gig economy. Newcomers often lack the institutional memory regarding labor and payment standards that the previous generation took with them when they moved on. This is why online forums and app groups are so important.
