This study addresses a gap in the existing literature on gig work collective organizing by investigating the factors that influence their interest in such collective actions. Drawing on the works of Tassinari and Maccarone (2020) and Schor (2020), the study focuses on the role of platform dependency and online communities in shaping the behaviors associated with collective action among gig workers. I recruited participants via a combination of snowball sampling and purposeful online and offline methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom, involving 14 location-based gig workers. I analyzed the interview transcripts using a phronetic iterative approach. My findings reveal three distinct types of collaborators among gig workers, namely non-active collaborators, conditional collaborators, and active collaborators. Moreover, interviews shed light on how competitive pressure, manifested through aspects such as platform design features, platform dependency, toxic online groups, and distrust, can influence gig workers' engagement in collective organizing.
