This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Isha Bhallamudi, Anushree Gupta and Eesha Kunduri can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2026/04/gender-dimensions-of-platform-work-how-do-they-shape-unionizing/. About the post: The promise of flexibility has been a prime reason that attracted women workers to platforms like UC, as it enables them to access paid work while also attending to their housework and care work responsibilities. It is this very erosion of flexibility that women were holding UC to account for.
