Summary
Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) is set to judge a landmark case (Theme 1.291) regarding employment relationships in the "uberization" of work. The case centers on a female worker seeking formal employment rights (signed work card) after providing services as an Uber driver. The ruling will set precedent for at least 10,000 similar cases across the country. The session is expected to be short due to Brazil's World Cup match against Scotland.
