| Summary: | Focusing on two unions that seek to organize delivery workers and app drivers in São Paulo, this article aims to elucidate what actions have been taken in the face of the Covid-19 health crisis. Through a survey of documents, interviews with union leaders and field research, it seeks to understand, on the one hand, what the main demands of these unions are to the companies that own the digital platforms and to the public authorities; on the other hand, what the impacts of the pandemic have been on their forms of action. The results show that the fight against precariousness has become more intense, pushing unions to pressure companies and public institutions for better working conditions. In addition, solidarity actions have helped unions to get closer to these workers, providing concrete answers to demands that have been ignored by companies. |
