Abstract
This paper aims to understand the conditions of uberized work. This new model of capitalist exploitation has an intrinsic relationship with the new information and communication technologies, in order to intensify and lengthen the working day. The hypothesis supported is that these workers are in a standby mode, problematizing in two analytical axes, waiting for calls and waiting for the recognition of their rights. To build the arguments, under a critical-dialectical methodological perspective, empirical data will be presented, collected from qualitative research, developed from direct observation, document analysis and semi-structured interviews with workers from digital platforms in the metropolitan area of Campinas-SP and São Paulo-SP. The interviews carried out in conjunction with the bibliography on the subject will scrutinize arguments that aim to understand how the state of the standby mode is internalized by uberized workers and the consequences on health.
