Company Uberworld-famous as an application for urban private transportation, won a corresponding victory in court in California (USA) against the possibility of hiring drivers who provide services to the ecosystem. A positive decision, which will be important for competitors in the same segment, was made last Monday, March 13th. Local justice has interpreted that the platforms will be able to maintain the current format of work in the US state – as independent contractors.

The topic is also in the spotlight in Brazil, as President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva reported that they would develop a model to try to formalize possible employment relationships between transport and delivery applications (such as 99) and partners. Information has been provided Wall Street Magazine. The decision may affect countries (such as ours) where the company is struggling with regulators seeking better working conditions.

Impact of the decision on app drivers like Uber and 99

Us USthe result was regarded by some of those interested as a historic victory for about 1.4 million drivers who need the current service format to receive a monthly income.

In our country, the number of drivers is about 1.5 million. Many will be seriously affected if those in charge of the platforms stop working on national territory. The defense strategy used the argument that a possible reclassification could permanently end the flexibility currently enjoyed by partners and directly affect the prices charged to users.

Despite the positive result in California, it remains to be seen how this situation will develop in Brazil. what is your opinion about this topic? Share your point of view on this!
