The uberization implies the intermediation of the personal delivery of certain services through a platformof a for-profit company. The problemis that the typical subordinate element of the employment relationship, if any, does not seemto be that of the conventional labor law. That is because the companyneither imposes time patterns for the provision of the workerʼs work, nor provides such worker with the equipment to perform the service. Brazil, like other countries with semi-peripheral economy, is holding an intense and unresolved debate on the subject. Brazil has no federal statutory act yet dedicated to the express regulation of the individual passenger transport activity, but some cities like São Paulo, for example, allow the provision of the service by a decree signed by the mayor. The fares charged in Brazil are, generally, cheaper than those of taxis, what makes the public support such competition. Under the labor protection sphere, there is no law or court precedent guiding which rule should be applied and how to qualify this kind of work. This article aims at summarizing the debate held until now and discussing possible trends for the legal regulation of the activity under the point of view of labor protection of the services provider whose work is a source of profit, based on the semi-peripheral economies, focusing on the Brazilian case., Article, 信州大学経法論集 5(ブラジル・日本国際セミナー特集号) : 265-287(2019)}, pages = {265--287}, title = {THE UBERIZATION OF WORK AND THE LEGAL SUBORDINATION : The Brazilian Case}, volume = {5}, year = {2019} }
