On the 8th of May, 2019, in the case “Rinaldo de Oliveira Campos vs. Uber do Brasil”, (expte. N° 0010083-81.2019.5.03.0008), the Court determined that there was no legal subordination in the relationship between Uber and Uber drivers and, for that reason, it did not constitute an employment relationship. To reach this decision, the Court pointed out that the driver had clear autonomy to provide services that fitted with their availability and convenience, and that they were even able to operate on competitor platforms. The Court noted that the ratings that drivers received from users did not imply legal subordination, but rather a means of ensuring the best passenger safety.
