Do breque ao block: uma análise do acesso à justiça pela via dos direitos laborais aos trabalhadores de plataformas digitais no Brasil

Abstract

Financial capitalism and the era of the information industry created elements capable of developing new forms of economy and work relations. An example of this are the gig economy and the sharing economy, economic modes that have expanded within the context of neoliberalism and the evolution of modern computerized devices. These economies therefore gave rise to new means of production and work tools, which until then were not covered by the old Fordist and Taylorist production models. In this way, work models were born based on flexibility, on-demand operation and intermediation between consumers and service providers, intermediated by a digital platform that moves through programming and algorithms. “Uberization” comes exactly from this context, gaining followers and forming an army of workers who work without a boss, on demand, without regular working hours, with low wages and without an employment relationship that guarantees the security of effective social labor rights. Through bibliographic and documentary research, therefore, the relationship between worker and digital platform is analyzed, problematizing obstacles and obstacles to the implementation of social labor rights for these workers, as well as questioning possible blocks to access to justice.
