Abstract

This is a study that seeks to investigate the relationship between judicial decisions in Brazil and Spain regarding the delimitation of the legal nature of work on digital platforms. In the Courts of Spain and Brazil, the validity of this autonomy has been questioned, since these workers request the recognition of their labor nature. In the Brazilian legislative sphere, there is no norm that recognizes the status of employed workers to these people. In Spain, on the other hand, the Rider law has recently been approved but the country itself is still adapting to the presumption of workmanship incorporated in it. What is proposed in this text, therefore, through the analysis of Brazilian and Spanish decisions, is to investigate whether or not the pronouncements of the Courts have directed the characterization of the legal nature of the work carried out by the couriers and delivery companies in these countries.
