Unions

Meet the unions that are members of FIRJAN

The employer´s Industrial Union is its legal representative in different issues related to industry. Therefore, to belong to a Union is fundamental for the competitiveness of your company.

 FIRJAN  has 104 employer´s Unions members.  When your company becomes a member, automatically you become one as well and thereafter you are represented in municipal, state and federal spheres regarding all issues of the state of Rio and its development.  Moreover you have exclusive benefits and easy access to all the services rendered by SESI, SENAI and IEL under special conditions.

Support to the Unions
Sistema FIRJAN jointly with FIRJAN Union Movement has a structured area to offer all support and approach the companies to their employer´s Union.

Sectoral Union Framework
To ensure the correct sectoral union framework Sistema FIRJAN offers all help to entrepreneurs and accountants with legal and accounting advice to clarify their doubts.

Compulsory Union Contribution
The Union contribution is a legal enforcement embedded in article 579 of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT).  Therefore, all the workers that are part of the economic category of the industry must abide the law and pay the union contribution to the Employer´s Union. This payment to the representative entity (indicated in the By Laws of the company) is performed once a year in January. Therefore the Unions may continue obtaining benefits for the sector specially when in negotiations with the government.

 

 

Be part of the network of companies represented by the Sistema FIRJAN and increase your competitiveness with special access to all services from SESI, SENAI and IEL.
