Sindicalismo em tempos difíceis: reflexões sobre a organização política de uma classe trabalhadora cada vez mais fragmentada

Abstract

This article presents reflections on the political organization of the workers in a time marked by profound socio-political and economic changes, on which the trade union movement, far from opposing radically to capital, assumes a defensive position and a sectorial character to the front of the offensive system, trying to resist the increasing precariousness of working conditions and life of a working class increasingly fragmented. In this context, their strategies of resistance have been hampered both by structural unemployment and by new forms of (sub) hiring and workforce churn intense, subjected to a deregulated market or regulated by the neoliberal guidelines.
