This is a technical note that evaluates the legal content of Complementary Bill No. 12 of 2024, presented by the Executive Branch in 2024.

The article analyzes examples from the above industries, along with more detailed case studies of platform work. This allows us to outline the main ways in which algorithms are deployed to automate the management, evaluation, and discipline of the workforce.

The thesis identifies two forms of work in platform capitalism—crowdwork and on-demand work through apps—to investigate the concrete effects of technological innovations on labor relations. It aims to answer whether labor law tools protect workers who perform activities on digital platforms.

Throughout the article, the authors distinguish between two types of gamification: first, 'top-down gamification', involving the optimization and rationalization of work practices by management; and second, 'bottom-up gamification', a form of active resistance against control at work. The article concludes with a renewed call for this 'bottom-up gamification', which is an ideal form of resistance against top-down gamification and its capture of the game in pursuit of work.

The article shows how machine learning and artificial intelligence have come to be used in combination, allowing algorithms to constantly reanalyze patterns of interest based on a database previously established by the source code programmer.

The article presents a cross-national comparative study examining how American and Chinese platform companies approach the gamification of food delivery. The study, based on ethnographic fieldwork in New York City and Beijing, highlights how delivery drivers in both cities negotiate gamified systems designed to persuade them to log in and continue working.

The article deals specifically with a set of measures that have a direct impact on labor relations. In doing so, it seeks to reflect on how the context of the pandemic has been converted by the government and business sectors into a pretext for advancing the precariousness of work, creating a scenario that is certainly harsher and more harmful to the health and lives of those who live off their work.

This article studied digital platforms for transporting people and goods from the perspective of Black workers. Based on empirical data collected in research, it argues that there is a disparity in opportunity, treatment, and income in the labor market between Black and white workers in these types of work on digital platforms.

This article seeks to contribute to the reflection on the challenges facing the left in the face of the new technological revolution underway, the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0. To this end, it will briefly review some authors who have dealt with technological revolutions in past decades, particularly in the world of work, to show the various possibilities for positive and negative interpretations of these processes.

The main objective of this text is to understand the modes of being of this process, its explanatory elements, as well as its connections with the law of value. In opposition to the assertion of the end of work, we can observe a significant increase in job insecurity and informality, which occurs in the forms of part-time, subcontracted, and precarious work.

The article presents an overview of the structure of the world of work and offers insights into understanding the meanings and conditions of work in the context of the digital work era.

This article seeks to contribute to the debate on trends shaping labor relations in the current context. To this end, it engages with a recurring idea: that 21st-century capitalism highlights and updates forms of exploitation and domination that prevailed in the 19th century, albeit in unique configurations that can only be understood within the context of its complex current dynamics.

The article discusses Bill 12/2024, demonstrating its weaknesses in terms of guaranteeing workers' rights and suggesting ways in which these rights can be truly ensured.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the work management strategies employed by Uber in relation to its drivers. Using the participant observation method, the researcher drove a car carrying out trips mediated by the platform for a period of four months in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, Bahia. The company operates with a management strategy that encourages false entrepreneurship and, at the same time, conceals an employment relationship: concealment. To this end, it uses tactics such as incentives, task-based work, pedagogism, fraud, risk sharing, and obscurantism, as ethnography has identified.

The article discusses why the social precariousness of work is a new and old phenomenon, is different and the same, is past and present, a phenomenon of a macro and microsocial nature. It presents some fetishes present in analyses of work in the context of the globalization of capital, marked by the hegemony of financial capital, the restructuring of production and work, and a "new spirit of capitalism."

The article analyzes the July 1 strike, demonstrating that it mobilized not only a contingent of mobilization force with political impact from app-based delivery workers, but also a heterogeneity of political positions.

The article analyzes new forms of Uberized work and their impact on the labor market and the regulation of labor relations, as well as examining workers' reactions in the field of collective organization and representation.

The article analyzes the relationship between work and politics in Brazil during the pandemic. It does so by pointing out the political and social processes that have shaped the current world of work in the country, identifying the main trends that characterize it, and highlighting some forms of resistance that have been organized by the working class and social movements to confront these trends.

The article seeks to analyze how the working class has been claiming its true power, adopting strategies of organization and resistance through cyberactivism. Between 2020 and 2022, semi-structured interviews, netnography, and non-participant observation were conducted on social networks and virtual plenary sessions. The main results reveal that the working class is undergoing a process of reorganization, using digital platforms, social networks, and applications, not only to regulate and control the pace of work, but also to claim their labor and human rights as a labor campaign tool.

The article conducted interviews with workers, union members, and leaders of the movement who were present, with the aim of learning about their demands and, through them, deepening the debate on the working conditions offered by private transportation companies through apps. Nevertheless, we focused on the strategies and difficulties of coordinating and organizing this segment of the working class. This article presents the results of these interviews.
