O modelo sindical e a crise no ordenamento brasileiro: propostas para aperfeiçoamento da representatividade

Abstract

This dissertation addresses the crisis of union representativeness in Brazil, exploring its historical, political, social, and legal causes. The study is divided into three main chapters. The first chapter presents a theoretical and historical analysis of the emergence of trade union entities and the importance of representativeness, including the relevance of ILO Convention No. 87. The second chapter takes a practical approach, discussing the criteria for assessing representativeness, the phenomenon of union dissociation, and the crisis of representativeness exacerbated by the 2017 Labor Reform. The third chapter proposes solutions to improve union representativeness, highlighting the importance of strengthening trade union federations, promoting the use of conventionality control, reinterpreting Article 511 of the CLT, the need for legislative reforms, and the use of digital marketing for union proselytism. The research concludes that, despite the established crisis, it is possible to improve, strengthen, and revitalize union representativeness through feasible and innovative measures that seek to adapt union structures to the new realities of the labor market and strengthen the role of unions.
