I am looking for research that analyses forms of 'digital organising' in countries/industries where trade unions are weak, repressed or outlawed. Do workers build connections through social media? Does it help in organising? etc.
Dear Jeroen, you could have a look on at article - Rego, R., Sprenger, W., Kirov, V., Thomson, G., & Nunzio, D. D. (2016). The use of new ICTs in trade union protests–five European cases. Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, 22(3), 315-329. Good luck. Vassil

May be you can take a look at the journal New Technology, Work and Employment. There must be some stuff. I woudl like to work on this topic, may at the end of the year.
First and foremost, I'd suggest the work (scattered in many different places) of the late Peter Waterman (formerly of ISS and in its library/archives you may find copies of his early work). His approach (more on ICT and less on social media) would give you a grounded perspective on labor studies. There is also Eric Lee, labournet, etc., etc. I'd suggest going from "below" (it's hard work) and gather your own evidence, don't rely on other people's perceptions and biases of what works. In that respect, PW and EL were the early "adopters", they wrote as ICT was developing. Further, there is huge (like Huuuuuge!) scope to write about campaigning and solidarity networks, and search for evidence of successes and failures. Hope I make sense...
