Where can delivery workers find a human voice in an algorithmically managed day?
This qualitative interview study examines delivery riders’ working conditions and collective resistance. Its TRICK home is Respect, an editorial reading path rather than a claim that the paper tests the full framework.
Study context

Age / stage: Adult workplace context; no child age range inferred
Read with three questions
- Where can delivery workers find a human voice in an algorithmically managed day?
- What do this study’s design and population — 100 platform delivery riders interviewed in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, January–July 2023 — allow you to infer about another workplace?
- When considering delivery riders’ working conditions and collective resistance, which decisions would need employee input before applying this reading to a working family’s circumstances?
Keep the limits in view
Situated interview narratives do not estimate national prevalence or establish that resistance strategies will work in another platform or jurisdiction.
