A matriosca municipária: a transformação da Federação de Associações (FAMERGS) em Federação de Sindicatos (FESISMERS) (1979-1992)

Abstract

This thesis aims to analyze the performance of public servants as a collective action under the gaucho municipalist seeking to verify the changes and maintenance in the representative system used by public sector workers in the period between the 1970s and 1990s, the State of Rio Grande do Sul. We investigate issues related to the association, unionization, strike, financing, organizational structure and conventions originated from the International Labour Organization (ILO), comparing them to institutional documentation of the Federation of Municipal Servants Trade union State Rio Grande do Sul (FESISMERS). Regarding the debate of the Constituent National Assembly, we analyze the case in Portugal and Brazil, seeking to gauge the vicinity and distances, as well as the weight of international conventions in the resolutions. We characterize the transition from the institutional status of Associations Federation for Trade Unions Federation as disputes space between legality and the needs required by workers represented by the entity, examining the relationship between the legal provisions, the constitution of collective action and the experience accumulated by category. Winning the right to organize, 1988 in the Federal Constitution, brought new possibilities within the institutional financing and legal struggles in the public space, bringing new forms of struggle that are now part of the representative picture of municipalist public sector. The work would merge the previous practice with organizational present methods in the period prior to 1988, as well as new instruments of pressure, previously inaccessible.
