CUT: Profile of leaders and union response to labor reform

Abstract

In this article we present aspects of the social composition of Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT Brazil) by comparing its general meetings, from the 10th to the 13th, held from 2009 to 2019. We highlight characteristics of the profile of union leaders who belong to this trade union and the first responses of trade unionists to labor reform, according to research applied at the time of the CUT general meetings, without losing sight of the pandemic scenario – Covid 19. In the final considerations we point out some of the main challenges that CUT faces today.
