Clearly, though, the most pernicious result of the outsourcing and temping of digital labor is the effect it has on traditional strategies for organizing labor.

The separation of work from place means that labor is likely to remain unorganized since opportunities for day-to-day communication among workers are remote.  Indeed, one of the main reasons part-time and flex-time employees are attractive to employers is that they are highly unlikely to organize.  Digital laborers lack the opportunity for communication and comparison of grievances and desires that centralized workspaces provide workers in other industries.  With outsourcing, workers do not know whom their co-workers are because they do not know where their co-workers are.  Laborers remain isolated.
