Resumen

Este artigo analisa como a migração afeta a composição de classe dos entregadores brasileiros no Reino Unido. Embora pesquisas agora indiquem que a migração desempenha papel importante no trabalho por plataformas no Norte Global, pouco se sabe sobre as maneiras específicas como isso ocorre na prática. Demonstramos como a migração é um aspecto constitutivo desse setor no Norte Global e como a condição de migrante gera experiências
e comunidades comuns, atravessando todos os aspectos dessa indústria, desde a organização do trabalho e as experiências de vida até as formas coletivas de resistência e organização. Para isso, propomos o enquadramento da teoria marxista da composição de classe e a migração, para compreender a formação desse novo setor da classe
trabalhadora e seus processos de luta e resistência. Este estudo se baseou em duas pesquisas etnográficas de longo prazo, com a organização coletiva dos entregadores em Londres, e em 13 entrevistas em profundidade.
