Crise no movimento sindical ou a aporia do capital? Uma análise das reivindicações do Sindicato da Construção Civil na Bahia

Abstract

This dissertation is a critical proposition that aims to analyze the current crisis of the labor movement and the capital's claim process, using SINTRACOM - the Construction Union located in Bahia - as allegory. This is because the struggle between capital and labor suffers from the disruption of the ideological foundations of its historical existence marked by the pursuit of the working class for change and adaptation to the socio-economic system established with the metabolic goal of achieving better living conditions. The former environment in which the revolutionary spirit led to an atmosphere focused on the need for proletarian organization to tackling issues related to labor exploitation and the profit concentration suffers from the current drain of the debate. Thus, the legitimacy of the Brazilian trade union movement will be evaluated from Vargas to the Constitution of 1988. Howevwe, the flags of struggle on behalf of more jobs, better wages, reduced working hours without wage cuts, will be unfurled under the guidance of Critical Theory on the agenda of the main demands of the unions at the expense of the historical goal of social emancipation.
