A “UBERIZAÇÃO” E A PRECARIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO NA ERA DIGITAL: ANÁLISE DA LEGISLAÇÃO E DA JURISPRUDÊNCIA BRASILEIRA

Abstract

The present study investigated the manifestation of "Uberization" and its relationship with the precariousness of work in the digital era, with an approach to the analysis of Brazilian legislation and legislation. "Uberization" as a business model based on digital platforms that mediate and connect services, such as app drivers, to customers. This study analyzes how this trend has impacted working conditions. The analysis included current legislation, as well as judicial decisions, including those under debate in the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and ongoing bills. This work aims to understand the challenges faced by “Uberized” workers regarding protection, working hours, fair wages and guarantees of basic labor rights. Furthermore, the solution was the need to update legislation and the obligation of the Judiciary to guarantee equity and justice for workers. The results of this study provide a more critical and in-depth understanding of the impacts of "uberization" in the workplace and provide important questions for future public policies and legal debates. In order to reach the results, studies were undertaken based on the inductive method and with the aid of eminently bibliographical research.
