2. Industrial Relation Management
Assignment 2 (1)
Title:
Power resources for disempowered workers? Reconceptualizingthe power and potential of consumers in
app-based food delivery
The message: IR’s concept in gig economy involves consumers
Back Ground
The on-demand “gig” economy is reshaping management, work, employment, and industrial
relations (IR)
A gig economy is a labor market that relies heavily on temporary and part-time positions filled
by independent contractors and freelancers rather than full-time permanent employees.
The gig economy is based on flexible, temporary, or freelance jobs, often involving connecting
with clients or customers through an online platform.

3. Industrial Relation Management
Assignment 2 (2)
Title:
Power resources for disempowered workers? Reconceptualizingthe power and potential of consumers in
app-based food delivery
Theory
Power Resources Theory (PRT); consideringhow actors possess and deploy different power
resources to influence politics at and around work.
Pioneered in the 1970s and 1980s by a school of Scandinavian researchers.
PRT provides a theoretical lens that can help to explain politics around and within work,
The power resources approach isa tool for workers to identify and use union resources to
achieve material and political gains.
Focusing primarily on the role and strength of labor mobilization
Its major conclusion is that social welfare provisions are larger and income inequality lower in
countries where working-class people are more politically organized

4. Industrial Relation Management
Assignment 2 (3)
Title:
Power resources for disempowered workers? Reconceptualizingthe power and potential of consumers in
app-based food delivery
Findings (in Australia)
1. Most food delivery workers are engaged as independent contractors and not employees.
2. Casual employment is the most flexible form of employment under the Australian IR system
and is characterized by precarityincluding no ongoing commitment from an employer to the
employee about the continuation of work
3. The consumers (both users and non-users) of app-based food delivery services in Australia
by and large are supportive of minimum wages, superannuation, and unfair dismissal rights.
4. The challenge highlighted by the findings is that while consumers may support certain
rights, many consumers currently have misconceptions about the rights and conditions of food
delivery workers.

5. Industrial Relation Management
Assignment 2 (4)
Title:
Power resources for disempowered workers? Reconceptualizingthe power and potential of consumers in
app-based food delivery
Discussion
Consumers of “gig” services can shape labor politics in 3 main ways
1. Consumers can be considered a power resource available to IR actors, if consumers pass 2
threshold tests; a) able to influence labor politics, and b) that IR actors can deploy, direct or
influence consumers to shift labor politics in their favor
2. Consumers can also shape IR rulemaking at the organizational level through
their consumption behaviors
3. Consumer can influence IR beyond the organizational level, especially in the
regulatory domain helping to recast and re-configure institutions

6. Industrial Relation Management
Assignment 2 (5)
Title:
Power resources for disempowered workers? Reconceptualizingthe power and potential of consumers in
app-based food delivery
Conclusion
1.consumers of app-based food delivery services can be viewed as a power resource for
“gig” workers to improve their working lives
2.we sought to explore consumer awareness of worker entitlements in the food delivery
segment of the “gig” economy and which entitlements workers might mobilize consumers
around
Comments
1.Raising consumer awareness to improve worker welfare (application-based), is a
breakthrough in IRM's work.
2.The break through is a novelty in IRM practice; which complements the 4 main elements
of IRM.
