Metamorfoses no mundo do trabalho: a uberização em questão

Abstract

The Uberization of work is a new configuration of work in the digital age, in this new form of work it is established that a digital platform comes from the platform-companies so that there can be an interconnection of them with the/consumer/a/a provider/ services, through an internet network and algorithms, these workers perform their services with their own work instruments (car, motorcycle, bicycles, smartphones) where they have to bear their costs and scratchs. In this scenario, workers are conceived with the appearance of autonomous workers, to work in these application-companies they only need to sign the terms and conditions proposed by each of these companies to become energy/as of their services. The objective of the analysis in this research is to discuss the widespread idea of entrepreneurship for these/these workers of these service platforms/application companies and to what extent these/these workers are autonomous, or subordinate to what each company- application propose? The methodology used was bibliographical and documentary research, in which we seek to understand the category of work, later on how the Uberization of work happens in practice and how it reverberates in the lives of these workers. Then, we seek to discuss how these workers were organized, taking into account the mobilizations that emerged from Breque dos Apps, how they started, if there were impediments and if there is a guiding agenda among these workers. The hypothesis is that this new form of work represents an intensification of the precariousness of work, and that there are transmission difficulties in the relationship between the application-companies and the workers who work in them, in addition to the terrible working conditions of this class of workers. worker/as.
