O fim da contribuição sindical obrigatória no Brasil: uma análise jurídica da Lei nº. 13.467/2017

Abstract

The controversy over the union contribution has become optional and the discussions generated with the end of its obligation bring to light the main objective for this chosen theme. This labor reform served too much to benefit employers and large businessmen. It was made for them at the expense of workers. Such a reform is an affront to our rights acquired over the years and that, suddenly, workers were deprived of so many benefits that they made them motivated to work. Emphasizing the union issue of union contribution only if the employee wants to contribute, as this became optional was the only most productive part of law 13.467 / 2017. For this research; we used the deductive method with which the history of unionism in Brazil began and the research was funneling until reaching the chosen theme and, thus, showing the events generated due to the reform in the law, showing that the polemic of the end union contribution has become meaningless, since the government's intention was to make unions less representative and thus compel them to seek other financial means of having voluntary contributions as income from workers spontaneously. However, at the same time, having to stop being representative due to lack of financial resources. Bringing the expected result: the decrease in the number of unions in Brazil and also showing the side effect caused by the optional contribution that is the weakening of the unions in order to become a strong government. Therefore, it is evident that, as pointed out in the research, the union is a necessary evil and it may be that this entity is a stumbling block for some governments that make up our governmental system. Finally, it was shown at the end of the third chapter that the forecast made by the government at the time of the reform was successful: it was the decrease in the number of unions including showing a graph that points out, after the labor reform, the number of requests for union records with the Ministry of Economy, which is responsible for the registration of union entities after the end of the extinct Ministry of Labor, which was responsible for this prerogative.
