In the midst of all this discussion, the rapporteur for the PEC (Proposal for a Constitutional Amendment) on social aid, Danilo Forte, suggests extending the benefit Self-employed truck driver allowance of BRL 1,000.00 also for application drivers, as these workers are not being covered by the text. Forte presented the idea to the mayor, Arthur Lira, but the government rejected the possibility for “lack of public registers identifying who these drivers are”. However, the company Uber did not like the repercussions for fear that the discussion about the employees' employment relationship would come up again.
“In the case of Uber and other applications, we have a lack of effective registration, including on the part of companies, which do not do so because of labor justice issues. There is no way to scale app drivers safely to offer the benefit of the aid”, said the rapporteur.
