SUMMARY:

The precariousness of work is one of the pillars of survival of the capitalist mode of
production. With each new restructuring of this economic system, the mechanisms of labor
exploitationare improved, resulting in flexibility, outsourcing, underemployment, temporary
work and scrapping, as well as direct attacks on legislation that aims to protect labor. This
attack on the dignity of the worker is based on the dictates of a neoliberalism that has called
into question the sovereignty of countries like Brazil. One of the results of this action
materializes in the expanding structural unemployment throughout the national territory,
above all, in the expansion of the lower circuit of the urban economy of Brazilian cities.
Based on this perspective, we sought to analyze the process of precarious work of stallholders
and delivery men who work in the subcenter of the Jacintinho neighborhood, located in
Maceió-AL.Although these activities are antagonistic, they directly or indirectly suffer the
effects of movements that are aimed at making labor rights more flexible; this fact can be
proven in the recent Brazilian Labor Reform supported by Law 13,429 of 2017. Delivery
people linked to digital platforms that operate in the subcenter of the Jacintinho neighborhood
face the results of this process of scrapping Brazilian labor, as they do not have any
guaranteed labor rights by the Consolidation of Labor Laws–CLT, although they perform
activities verysimilar or identical to the work models protected by this law. Platform
capitalism not only printed new work mechanisms, but also circumvented legal systems with
the idea ofproviding occupations for the great mass of the unemployed, creating an intense
process of exploitation and alienation of these workers. In relation to the stallholders who
work in the mentioned subcenter, they go through a significant process of precariousness of
their work that materializes from the occupation and use of the territory to the movement of
persecutions and constant threats by public agencies, in this way, delegitimizing not only the
use of the territory, but also the importance of this activity for the development of the popular
economythatdevelopsintheneighborhood.Themethodologyusedwasbasedon
bibliographic surveys, thus seeking a deeper understanding of the subject of study, ranging
from classic to current works; specific field work in the Jacintinho neighborhood subcenter,
which made it possible to recognize the place, as well as the agents who work there;
application of questionnaires and interviews to couriers and marketers; the analytical method
used was historical-dialectical materialism.
