A LIBERDADE SINDICAL DA CONVENÇÃO N. 87 DA ORGANIZAÇÃO INTERNACIONAL DO TRABALHO E A MATRIZ SINDICAL BRASILEIRA

Abstract

The Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, promulgated on October 5th, 1988, inaugurated a new phase in the structure of the syndical entities in the country. That structure had been previously marked by the state´s interference and interventionism. The prohibition of such interference and intervention in the constitution of syndical entities was an important landmark in the ratification of the unionization freedom consecrated by the International labor laws and, especially, by the International Labor Organization, through its Conventions and Recommendations. Thus, the object of this research is the study of the syndical matrix suggested by the 87th Convention of the International Labor Organization, which constitutes the most important law on unionization freedom in the field of the International Labor Laws. In addition to the matrix previously mentioned, this dissertation also aims at the study of the syndical matrix established in our native legal system since the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988. The focus of our study is syndical plurality and unicity, as well as the mandatory contribution, which prevent the ratification of that convention by Brazil. In our study, Hannah Arendt´s views are adopted, according to which freedom can only be achieved through action, and, for this reason, it requires a politically assured scope in order to be lived.
