“…Conversely, there is little space left for negotiation. This model of Brazilian industrial relations is defined as "legislado" (legislated) (Noronha, 2000), in contrast to a model where the voluntarism of the parties, and not the law, is central to industrial relations dynamics (e.g., Italy - Regalia and Regini, 1995). In spite of this corporative framework, a big union mobilization -known as novo sindicalismo (new unionism: Rodrigues, 1999) -characterized the years between the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, especially in the industrial region around São Paulo.…”

“…In addition, it is to be noted that the contents of the convenções coletivas are not effectively broader than those established by the labour laws. Moreover, the application of labour laws and convenções coletivas is historically widely neglected in Brazil (Noronha, 2000;Oliveira, 2003). However, we cannot disregard the fact that some Brazilian unions have tried to foster workers' rights through political bargaining and lobbying, especially towards the union-friendly ruling parties, such as the PT (Schneider and Karcher, 2010).…”

Introducing Workers’ Embedded Agency: Insights from the Brazilian Subsidiaries of a Multinational Corporation

Summary The relevance of subsidiary embeddedness in a macro-institutional environment can in no way overshadow the importance of the micro-political agency of social actors. While some researchers focus on local management’s “embedded agency,” we focus on a less-developed aspect: workers’ “embedded agency.” In order to do so, we propose an analytical model that is based on the Varieties of Capitalism model and its subsequent developments, but that also includes the workers as an active agent. This model allows us to observe the institutional resources that workers can actively mobilize. We specifically focus on the characteristics of industrial relations and education institutional sub-systems. We apply the developed analytical model to the case of the Brazilian subsidiaries of a highly global multinational corporation (MNC). Brazil represents a context where institutional constraints (i.e. corporatist industrial relations and a dualist education system) make workers’ actions the least favorable. Moreover, the highly integrated organizational environment of the MNC further reinforces this aspect. In turn, this makes it more compelling to discover how workers can nevertheless strategically activate some resources to improve their conditions. We conduct a case study and collect empirical data through semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. More specifically, we discuss three examples of workers’ “embedded agency” (i.e. election of a bilateral committee for the prevention of accidents; plant closure; and internship and training). These bring analytical attention to workers’ collective and individual actions as well as intra- and extra-subsidiary mobilization of institutional resources.

“…In contrast, industrial bargaining plays a residual role in determining this relationship (Cardoso and Gindin, 2009). Brazil's model of industrial relations has thus been characterized as "legislated" or "hard-law" (Noronha, 2000), and labor courts play a fundamental role in labor disputes, both individual and collective.…”

Although unions in Brazil are marginally effective in defining the employer-employee relationship, confidence in unions is high and exhibits a positive trend over time. A logistic regression model based on the Latinobarometer data series (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009) empirically verifies that unions' state embeddedness really does matter in explaining confidence in unions in Brazil (i.e., confidence in government, especially during the Lula presidency, has a significant positive effect). Moreover, people who have a negative perception of their personal economic situations and are less trustful of others are more inclined to have confidence in unions. Não obstante o efeito bem limitado e marginal dos sindicatos na determinação das relações entre o patrão e o empregado, se mantem alto a confiança nos sindiatos e essa confiança mostra uma tendência positiva no decorrer do tempo. Um modelo de regressão logística baseado no série de dados Latinobarómetro (1996-2009) verifica empiricalmente que a integração dos sindicatos no Estado importa para explicar essa confiança neles, dado que a confiança no governo, sobretudo durante a presidência do Lula, tem tido um efeito positivo. Além disso, as pessoas cuja percepção da sua situação econômica pessoal seja negativa e que tenha menos confiança nos outros inclinam mais para confiar nos sindicatos.

“…Mais recentemente, a partir de Noronha (1999;2000), pesquisadores passaram a designar o modelo brasileiro como "legislado", enfatizando a forte primazia estatal na criação da norma. Já Pichler (2002;2005) utiliza a expressão "modelo estatutário de barganha" (ou "modelo legislado de barganha") para destacar que, a par da primazia estatal, a evolução do sistema brasileiro a partir de fins da década de 1970 teria abrigado também um papel não desprezível para a negociação coletiva.…”

A tradição anglo-americana de estudo das relações de trabalho (industrial relations) nunca chegou a marcar forte presença na academia brasileira. Há escassa produção científica nacional que utiliza a literatura dessa tradição de pesquisa como sua fonte de referência, assim como, diferentemente do que se passou nos países de língua inglesa, nunca se constituíram, no Brasil, programas de graduação ou de pós-graduação stricto sensu específicos sobre relações de trabalho. A investigação científica e a formação profissional correspondentes aos assuntos do mundo do trabalho permanecem amarradas às disciplinas consolidadas na área -administração, direito, economia, história, sociologia, psicologia. Portanto, não chega a causar espanto que uma
