The Fairwork Brazil report 2023, about decent work on platforms in the country is out. Most apps with less than 3 in a 10 scale, meaning, they don't guarantee not even the minimum of workers' rights.

One of the worst evaluated app is Uber. The answer from their PR to the report: "The work carried out by Fairwork Brasil lacks the minimum scientific rigor for it to be classified as a research. The methodology has flaws that compromise the results and prevent the initiative from being used to build improvements for the main stakeholders: those who use apps to work” (In Portuguese, here - https://g1.globo.com/economia/noticia/2023/07/25/99-uber-ifood-pesquisa-renova-notas-baixas-para-condicoes-de-trabalho-aos-parceiros-de-apps.ghtml)

Thus, instead of using the report to understand and improve worker's conditions, Uber attacks the research and the researchers (which are a group of several universities in the country, together with Oxford University).

Brazil is also currently discussing the regulation of platforms and the regulation of minimum rights for their workers in the country.
