O vínculo empregatício dos entregadores de aplicativos e as plataformas digitais: um estudo acerca da precarização do trabalho em meio à pandemia covid-19 no Brasil.

Abstract

The present study has as its main objective the analysis of the new modalities of work focusing on digital platforms, analyzing the employment relationship between deliverers and apps and the verification of the employment relationship, as well as deregulation in relation to disruptive technologies. For this, it was analyzed how the work on demand occurs and all the requirements that configure the employment relationship. International and national decisions on the subject were also pointed out. Considering the absence of Brazilian regulation regarding digital platforms, it was shown the importance of examining the precariousness experienced by couriers and its worsening with the COVID-19 pandemic. For the study of the theme, bibliographic and documentary research were conducted, through the deductive method, in addition to the qualitative research methodology. Through this research, one can realize that the deliverers are subject to degrading working conditions, due to a false promise of labour freedom and legal insubordination of digital platforms, which characterizes them as false self-employed. Moreover, it is observed how essential is the effective performance of the Labour Law as a way to consummate its protective essence. Thus, the importance of analyzing the theme with special attention of jurists, government agencies, the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary Powers and civil society was verified in order to guarantee the labor rights of the deliverers as a way to realize the principle of human dignity.
