Resumo: The aim of this text is to analyze the relationship between workers and "platforms" and "applications", as well as the possibilities for their regulation, in the light of the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT). To this end, we present the main elements of the dominant narrative from the “platforms”, contrasting them with the empirical evidence from the actual relationships. Contrary to business rhetoric, these relationships are characterized by an intense exploitation of labour. Technically, it has never been easier to regulate labour law. However, politically, it may never have been so difficult. The narrative about what these companies are plays an important role in promoting this kind of management, even though there are signs of workers' resistance to this process.

Para tal, apresentamos os principais elementos da narrativa dominante das “plataformas”, contrapondo-os às evidências empíricas oriundas das relações estabelecidas. Ao contrário do ideário empresarial, estas relações são caracterizadas por uma intensa exploração do trabalho. Tecnicamente, nunca foi tão fácil regular o direito do trabalho. Porém, politicamente, talvez nunca tenha sido tão difícil. A narrativa sobre o que são essas empresas, joga papel importante na promoção dessa gestão precarizante, ainda que haja sinais de resistência dos trabalhadores a esse processo.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade Federal Fluminense2020-04-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmltext/htmlapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/3890110.22409/contracampo.v39i1.38901Contracampo; v. 39 n. 1 (2020): Trabalho de Plataforma2238-25771414-748310.22409/contracampo.v39i1reponame:Contracampoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporenghttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/38901/htmlhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/38901/html_pthttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/38901/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/38901/pdf_1Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Contracampoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFilgueiras, VitorAntunes, Ricardo2020-07-26T14:21:56Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/38901Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampoPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/oai||contracampo.uff@gmail.com2238-25771414-7483opendoar:2020-07-26T14:21:56Contracampo - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
