Estrutura sindical e mundo do trabalho: alguns dilemas contemporâneos do sindicalismo brasileiro
Resumo
Este ensaio reúne reflexões preliminares sobre a relação entre a estrutura sindical brasileira e as mudanças no mundo do trabalho no atual momento histórico. O movimento sindcal no Brasil foi, a partir da década de 1930, organizado mediante interferência direta do Estado. Embora não tenha havido, salvo períodos específicos de nossa história recente, proibição para a atuação sindical, as organizações de trabalhadores têm sido fortemente tuteladas pelo aparato burocrático-legal que ainda se mantêm de pé. As transformações recentes no capitalismo, sobretudo nas últimas quatro décadas, alteraram a cena político-social e trouxeram reflexos dramáticos para a realidade do trabalho: aumento da informalidade, crescimento nos índices de desemprego, permanência da histórica desigualdade salarial entre homens e mulheres, baixa remuneração. Essas mudanças trouxeram maior complexidade para o atual momento histórico, colocando o sindicalismo brasileiro, com sua atuação historicamente limitada pelo Estado e reduzida inserção nos locais de trabalho, numa encruzilhada de difícil resolução.

Abstract:This paper provides preliminary reflections on the relationship between the Brazilian trade union structure and the changing world of work in the current historical moment. The trade union movement in Brazil was, from the 1930's, organized by direct state interference. While there wasn't, except in specific periods of our recent history, ban to trade union activity, worker's organizations have been heavily overseen by the legal- bureaucratic apparatus that remain standing. The recent changes in capitalism, especially in the last four decades, changed the political and social scene and brought tragic consequences to the reality of work: increasing informality, unemployment rates growth, historic wage gap between men and women biding, low incomes. These changes have brought a greater complexity to the current historical moment, putting the Brazilian labor movement, with its historically limited action by the state and reduced integration in the workplace, at the crossroads of difficult resolution.
