Abstract
ABSTRACT The paper examines the struggle of the teachers of the municipal education system of Campo Grande, capital of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, to be paid the full value of the National Minimum Monthly Salary for Teachers (Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional, PSPN), established by Law n. 11,738/2008. The sources consulted included education-related legislation and documents, local press articles, and documents and material published by the teachers union. In the municipal context, the teachers demanded, as an innovation, to be paid the PSPN on a 20-hour week basis. In the municipality, during the analyzed period, under each mayor’s administration, a new law on the matter was passed. The rights were thus guaranteed by legislation, but not complied with. The process was marked by complex developments involving the teachers union, culminating in the largest teacher strike ever held in the municipality, when the educational state acted to maintain the status quo at the local level by using both the local press and the judicial system. The fact that the teachers did not succeed in their demands reveals fissures in the Brazilian cooperative federalism, since local governments, as in this case, prevented teacher remuneration (Law n. 11,738/2008) from becoming part of the federative coordination policies designed to lower regional asymmetries and contribute to reducing social inequalities.
本文考察了南马托格罗索州首府坎波格兰德市教育系统的教师为获得第11,738/2008号法律规定的全国教师最低月薪(Piso Salarial professional Nacional, PSPN)的全部价值而进行的斗争。咨询的资料来源包括与教育有关的立法和文件、当地报纸的文章以及教师工会出版的文件和材料。在市政府的背景下,作为一项创新,教师们要求按每周20小时的标准支付PSPN工资。在分析期间,在每一位市长的管理下,市政府都通过了一项关于此事的新法律。这些权利因此得到立法的保障,但没有得到遵守。这一过程的特点是涉及教师工会的复杂发展,最终导致了该市有史以来规模最大的教师罢工,当时教育国家采取行动,利用当地媒体和司法系统来维持当地的现状。教师们的要求没有成功,这一事实揭示了巴西合作联邦制的裂缝,因为在这种情况下,地方政府阻止教师薪酬(第11,738/2008号法律)成为联邦协调政策的一部分,该政策旨在降低区域不对称并有助于减少社会不平等。
