Abstract

Digitalisation has not yet reduced the demand for manual “unskilled” work. Instead of substitution, “unskilled” work is being integrated and rationalised by means of algorithmic work control technologies. The article shows that due to a specific interaction between the German migration regime and algorithmic management, the share of migrant workers is particularly high in this type of work. The market-oriented migration regime leads to a differential inclusion that forces certain migrants into precarious employment. Algorithmic management simplifies the labour process and overcomes language barriers, making it possible to integrate migrant workers in areas where this was not previously the case. This interaction contributes to the devaluation of migrant work, but also provokes various forms of – mostly informal – resistance. The author reconstructs these processes on the basis of interviews and participant observations in German “Industry 4.0” and platform logistics companies.
