Reestruturação produtiva, neoliberalismo e sindicalismo: aproximações analíticas sobre a organização sindical no Brasil

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the process of demobilization of the Brazilian working class and its impacts on union organization, based on the transformations in the world of work resulting from the consolidation of neoliberalism in Brazil from the 1990s to the present. It seeks to understand how changes in the world of work and in the state sphere have influenced and continue to influence the formation of class consciousness, workers’ union organization, and the role of labor unions - particularly the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) - in mediating conflicts between capital and labor. The research is based on a literature review of classical and contemporary authors associated with the Marxist tradition. Thus, the study proposes a critical analysis of structural changes in contemporary capitalism and their implications for the collective union organization of workers, contributing to this debate in the field of Social Work.
