Abstract

On July 2017, Brazil’s Senate approved the country’s most extensive labor reform since the emergent 1943’s Consolidation of Labor Law (Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas, CLT). The aforementioned reform provoked heated debates and its approval faced resistance. Unions, for instance, convened two general strikes: the first, on April 2017, garnered a significant amount of participation, while the latter, on June, ended with participation falling significantly below expectations. Despite the widespread rejection of Temer’s mandate and the content of the law, on June, unions were surprisingly unable to agree on a common strategy regarding a proposal on labor reform. The present research aims to explore this paradox. A survey-based analysis, along with a series of unstructured interviews with union leaders and protesters, establishes a solid empirical base from which to draw hypotheses about the Brazilian state corporatist union model and its evolution.

巴西的劳工改革、政治和迹象:2017年总罢工纪要
2017年7月,巴西参议院批准了该国自1943年颁布的《劳动法》(Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas,CLT)以来最广泛的劳动改革。上述改革引发了激烈的辩论,其批准面临阻力。例如,工会召集了两次大罢工:第一次是在2017年4月,获得了大量的参与,而第二次是在6月,参与率大大低于预期。尽管Temer的授权和法律内容遭到广泛拒绝,但令人惊讶的是,6月,工会未能就劳工改革提案达成共同战略。本研究旨在探讨这一悖论。一项基于调查的分析,以及对工会领导人和抗议者的一系列非结构化采访,建立了一个坚实的经验基础,可以从中得出关于巴西国家社团主义工会模式及其演变的假设。
