Despite not being satisfied with the final report that regulates work by application, behind the scenes, the platforms understand that it is time to vote on the text presented by the rapporteur, deputy Augusto Coutinho (-PE).
This is because, in the sector’s understanding, the changes improved the text and, now, the report does not make the delivery service unfeasible. Despite this, he still understands that
Some points are still considered critical by companies: The rapporteur presented an alternative remuneration for time worked, with two minimum wages.
The alternative meets the platforms’ requests, but they still complain that it leaves room for future questions. Furthermore, the hourly pay is double what is applied in other countries.
Another criticism is the 30% charging limit for app drivers, which in the companies’ assessment, ends with variable pricing and does not take into account the law of supply and demand.
Amobitec, which represents the largest companies, says that it is still worrying to maintain points
“Among the points are the imposition of a minimum delivery fee and the limitation on the platforms’ service fees, which can harm the operation of applications, the balance of supply and demand, workers’ income and access to the service by the population”, he stated.
The platforms will still try to change a section in the commission that maintains autonomous work, but under the jurisdiction of the labor court. For them, the measure is meaningless because there is no employment relationship.
Companies still assess, with reservations, that the proposed regulation is super restrictive and involves bureaucracy, such as a written contract, which puts an end to the ease that the application allowed.
