Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), annulled a decision by the Labor Court of Minas Gerais that recognized an employment relationship between an application driver and the Cabify platform. In Moraes’ understanding, the decision failed to comply with Supreme Court precedents on the matter. For the minister, the relationship between the driver and the company is commercial and is similar to the cases of self-employed transporters. “The joint interpretation of the precedents allows the recognition of the lawfulness of other forms of employment relationship other than the employment relationship governed by the CLT, such as in outsourcing itself or in specific cases”, understood the minister. In the process, the platform argued that the drivers’ service does not fit as an employment vehicle. In Cabify’s understanding, the professional drives for registered customers, with no minimum billing requirement or number of trips.
