Labor Unions Survey

About - 2001

Carried out in partnership with the Ministry of Labor and Employment with the intervenience of the Advisory Board of the Workers Supporting Fund - Codefat, the Labor Unions Survey 2001 aimed at portraying the Brazilian union structure.

The information of the survey was released in two publications. The first one, which includes the first results of the survey, presents statistics on the number of unions, according to the types and economic and professional categories, their regional and state distribution, and their size, according to the member classes and coverage. It also includes aspects of the affiliation of unions to union centrals, federations and confederations and to entities of technical advisory. The second publication includes a wide set of information on the subject, highlighting the following indicators: number of unions and members; unionism rate; collective labor negotiations carried out; characteristics of the unionized persons; ways of representation in the workplaces; major services and activities provided by unions, like manpower qualification and re-qualification; raised contributions; and affiliation to union centrals, federations and confederations and to civil entities of technical advisory, among others. The analysis of these results demonstrates the changes of the Brazilian union organization in the period between 1992 and 2001 and the regional differences noticed.

Both publications include technical notes with methodological considerations on the survey and a glossary with the key terms and concepts to understand the results.

This whole set of information allows to pinpoint the profile of the unions of employers and urban and rural workers in the reference year in Brazil.
