Crise do sindicalismo: proposta de um modelo viável apto a substituir a unicidade sindical

Abstract

This work aims to examine the principle of trade union unity, corollary of Brazilian Collective Labor rights, enshrined in the Labor Laws and the Federal Constitution, checking how it contributes to the weakness of union relations. By means of a historical digression, we intend to demonstrate the corporatist heritage imported from the Italian fascist legislation, its highly antidemocratic origin and the adverse consequences perpetuated nowadays. We intend to analyze the current union crisis from the perspective of this principle, proposing a viable model to replace it, based on similar experiences in other countries, notably Italy.
