O impacto da organização transnacional na reinvindicação de direitos dos trabalhadores de plataforma na América Latina

Abstract

The emergence and consolidation of a transnational movement among platform workers, especially in Latin America, reflects the effectiveness of the application of the Transnational Classes theory developed by Van der Pijl. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to illustrate how the transnational organization of platform workers in the Latin American region contributes to the search for better working conditions. The methodology adopted in this research incorporated the use of case study, netnography and discourse analysis to investigate the dynamics and interactions in the transnational movement of platform workers in Latin America. This study aims to enrich the understanding of the cause by highlighting that by organizing globally and sharing strategies, information and resources, platform workers aim to strengthen their negotiating positions vis-à-vis companies and governments. The building of a sense of transnational solidarity persists despite the geographical distance between these workers, driven by the need for a collective struggle and the recognition of the similarity of demands at a regional level. Therefore, this study seeks not only to analyze, but also to contribute to the movement by highlighting how the transnational organization of platform workers in Latin America plays a crucial role in improving working conditions and promoting more robust representation in labor negotiations.
