As relações de trabalho em transformação: uma análise do modelo de trabalho da Plataforma Ifood

Abstract

The scope of this research is to analyze the challenges of labor law in the technological era, since the law itself has been challenged by technological innovations and the judiciary has faced these issues. Faced with this reality, the following issue therefore arises: with the emergence of new technologies and the offering of jobs on demand, would it be possible to recognize the employment relationship with the iFood platform? In any case, it is necessary, as a way of affirming general research objectives, to analyze the effects of the productive remodeling of the capital system, which, with the advent of new technologies, would tend to form a prone dialectical relationship between the labor protections provided for in legislation and social and economic expectations, from the perspective of self-employment, based on the iFood platform. In this sense, the present research intends to use the analytical method, through bibliographical reviews, using the doctrine in a systemic way, to then compare elements brought to the fore, to interpret them to conclude about the problem. The collection and analysis of jurisprudential decisions involving the topic will be carried out, with priority given to decisions that occur within the scope of the Superior Labor Court and the Federal Supreme Court. Finally, it is interesting to highlight that this research did not seek to extenuate the questions originating from the theme now analyzed but aspired to contribute to discussions about the “new era of work” that is so pressing today.
