The essay presents results of a study on food-delivery workers in Brazil. The study is based on a qualitative analysis of online social networks and news coverage of delivery workers during the pandemic, which increased the visibility of the precarious work conditions. The results feature the delivery app workers’ collective mobilization and the trend in their identification as a professional category, which became emblematic with the two national strikes held in July 2020.
