Plataformização das relações de trabalho no Brasil: uberização, precarização do trabalho e a constituição do vínculo de emprego

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the platformization of labor relations in Brazil. We will seek to reflect on the phenomenon of Uberization and how this new work model has legitimized the precariousness of labor relations in the Brazilian context. Uberization is about the subordination of work through digital platforms. It will also be analyzed about the configuration of the existence or not of the employment relationship. Theemergence of digital platforms resulting from technological advances, added to unemployment rates and the promise of ease and financial autonomy has stimulated the adhesion of thousands of workers in this work format. The absence of legislation that regulates this issue, as well as the jurisprudential divergences on the constitution of the employment relationship, has contributed to increasingly legitimize the exploitation of the workforce. The methodology used to develop this study was the bibliographic review on the subject, in addition to the analysis of summaries of judgments of judicial decisions issued by the Superior Labor Court (TST) regarding the recognition of the constitution of the employment relationship arising from these employment relationships. Uberization represents a major challenge in labor relations in Brazil, causing serious implications and violating guarantees and minimum rights for workers.
