Resilience through resistance: the role of worker agency in navigating algorithmic control
Platform workers increasingly have a diverse array of tools to exercise their agency physically and virtually.

As platforms counteract workers' acts of resistance, workers must continue to develop new and innovative strategies to strengthen their resilience. Such a complex and nuanced landscape merits continued research and analysis.
