SUMMARY:

This research proposes to investigate whether the collective action of app delivery workers challenges the brazilian union structure, with the objective of identifying to what extent the performance of their collective non-union organizations exceeds the legal limits imposed by this structure, as well as how it limits the collective action of these workers. As an investigation method, empirical research was carried out based on seven interviews with representatives of union and non-union collective organizations that were involved in the search for better working conditions for app delivery workers (Amae-DF, Atam-DF, Amba, Seambape, Sindmoto-DF and CUT). These interviews were analyzed, first, to identify which criticisms were presented to unionism by the associations' leaders, having identified as problematic points: i) the removal of workers; ii) the centrality of union action around the employment relationship; iii) the stigma surrounding the union figure. Then, a discussion is made on how these associations act outside the union structure of the State, based on the understanding of their action strategies to achieve representativeness among couriers: i) approximation of workers in the physical and virtual space; ii) mobilization of the “brakes”; iii) holding events and providing assistance, services and courses. Finally, it discusses their strategies to deal with the lack of formal representation of these workers and to place themselves in institutional spaces, ranging from the formation of institutional alliances to the possibility of constituting themselves as new unions, which gives rise to the discussion about the fragmentation generated by union unity based on the artificial parameter of professional category.
