• The plenary is examining RE 1446336, an Uber appeal with general repercussion, and RCL 64018, a Rappi complaint, under reports by Edson Fachin and Alexandre de Moraes.
• Fachin, in his first plenary as court president, opened the session for reports and oral arguments and indicated voting will be scheduled for a later date.
• Lower labor courts and TST panels have issued conflicting rulings on platform work, a divergence the Supreme Court aims to harmonize with a precedent-setting thesis.
