Uberização: o novo retrato da informalidade e sua precarização

Abstract

From prehistory to contemporary age, there have been many changes in society and, above all, in relation to human work. The resignifications of work with a valuable character for human existence culminated in several struggles for the search for employment rights that were important for modern society. However, the excessive search for profit, technological advances and the capital crisis were the main factors that called human labor on hard spot. The high unemployment rates boost the weakening of work with rights, with non-compliance or non-existence of protective laws. Within such a scenario, uberized work emerges as a flame of hope, soon transformed into a blaze that destroys rights and guarantees. Seen in these terms, the general objective of this work is to analyze the evolution of human labor and the emergence of uberization, known as the new archetype of labor informality. For this end, we used bibliographical research on the subject through books, articles, doctrines, judicial decisions and news. First, the resignifications of work throughout history were exposed, followed by the conceptualization of informal work and its characteristics and, finally, uberization as a new portrait of informal work, without bonds or rights, in a precarious reality and far from providing something beyond survival. In addition, there was an experience report on uberized work. It was understood that the dimension of uberization in the Brazilian labor scenario is growing and that the current legislation is ineffective in the face of social changes, causing the working class t o remain exposed t o vulnerability.
