NEW WORK PROTECTION STRUCTURES

Abstract

The present study seeks to demonstrate that the enigma of legal protection in the field of work, in the contemporary era, demands a critical look, which transcends answering the question about whether the worker linked to digital platforms are or are not protagonists of a specific contractual relationship, that is, employment. What could be called regulated citizenship tensions the data of the present, because, far from an employment society, there is a reformulation of the labor market with the emergence of work situations that are not necessarily included in the standard situations of a specific contract. New ways of working, however, do not indicate the anachronism of labor norms when perceived in a perspective of principles. Demands for protection reveal that old dilemmas about legal protection that may be an inducer of equality are re-established in the new world of work.
