There is no public money enough to qualify worker The trade union movement has to pressure the government to obtain enough resources to qualify the Brazilian unemployed who are in the job market looking for a vacancy. In the last years, the disponibility of public resources to qualification is about 20% of the funds asked by Codefat (Deliberative Council of the Fund to Support Worker) to the Planning Ministery.
João Carlos Gonçalves, Juruna, Unemployed The representatives of the trade union centrals, of the businessmen and of the government, who have their place at Codefat, claim for R$ 1 billion to make professional qualification at Brazil, in 2009, but only R$ 165 million have been destinated to the courses. With parliamentarians emends, the total of resources came to R$ 230 million. Resources Sérgio Luiz Leite, Serginho, “The government have only started to invest at the country infra-structure after being pressured and convinced to act”, says the councilor. According to Juruna, the lack of labor at the country can be because of the unexpected economy growth and because of the lack of investments at labor qualification. “Brazil invests few in education, mainly at fundamental school, which is the basis of formation of future professionals”, he criticizes. Vacancies There are no mechanic and civil engineers, nutricionists, pharmacists, line production auxiliares, mechanics, construction workers, plaster workers, electricists, plumers, telemarketing operators and also functions linked to the naval sector. Courses The Metallurgist Trade Union of Great Curitiba promotes cources of basic mechanics, CNC programator and English by years. The Metallurgist Trade Union of São Paulo has opened its technical school to give courses of manufacture automation and vehicles inspetion, at the beggining. “They are courses of high quality with enphasis at job and professional qualification”, says the financial director, Elza Pereira. The Workers at Civil Construction Trade Union of São Paulo has been negotiating with the bosses and the government to make labor qualification. Still in negotiation phasis with the government of Ceará, the project of Hard Construction Workers Trade Union of the state has the objective to make courses to 1.500 workers, revealed the administrative manager of the entity, José Flávio Coutinho. |

The trade union centrals and the retired entities have to urgently pressure the National Congress to approve a bigger increase for the minimum salary in 2011. The idea is to suggest to the parliamentarians linked to the trade union movement the presentation of emends to the report of the Budget Directions Law of the senator Tião Viana, which will be voted next 7th. The objective is to guarantee a real increase for the minimum salary and then benefit workers who earn the basis and also the retired. We are convinced that there is space for a more substantial readjust because the country shall have an expressive economic growth this year. The national basis today is R$ 510,00, and the senator have proposed R$ 547,95 and the trade union movement claims for R$ 570,00, which corresponds to an increase of 11,76%. To calculate the new value for the minimum, Tião Viana has taken in consideration in his report the inflation reposition, stimated about 5%, and the average of the PIBs of 2008 and 2009. As the PIB of last year was negative, we defend that it is not taken in consideration, and that to be used the PIB 2010, which may be closed in about 7%. With our proposal the real raise will be 6,7% for the national basis. But the fight at the Congress is promised to be very hard. Even senator Tião Viana recognizes this. For our proposal to be approved it will be necessary a lot of pressure over the politicians because the oposition has already shown resistance to the smaller proposal which is at the senator report. It’s almost right that the parliamentarians opositionists will try to stop our proposal. A dignified salary is a way of income distribution. |

Even when there is an equilibrium at the income, as in Fortaleza (102,5%) and Recife (100%), the reality is not better, because the earnings are really low. The study, made with PED (Employment and Unemployment Research) data, collected at Distrito Federal and the metropolitan regions of Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador, Fortaleza and São Paulo, shows that it is very expressive the proportion of female labor at commerce in relation to the total of employed women. Gender equilibrium The commerce activity has the character of gender singularity, if compared to the other economic sectors. While men are majority at civil construction and industry, the female labor prevails at the services and commerce sectors, which had the proportion of almost half of women employed, varing between 43,3% in São Paulo and 48,5% in Salvador. Among women employed at commerce, about 60% of women were salaried, with smaller proportion at the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza (41,4%) and bigger at the Region of Belo Horizonte. Grown ups Almost half of the salaried at commerce are women, which corresponds to about 840 thousand workers in commerce at the analized regions. Porto Alegre presents the biggest proportion of female labor (45,6%) and Fortaleza the smallest (38,2%). The biggest part of salaried women at commerce is grown up, aging 25 to 39 years old. These ones corresponds to 45,1% of female workers in São Paulo and come to 52,6% in Salvador. The youngs betweeen 16 and 24 years old also have an expressive participation and correspond to aproximately one third of the category. Extenses workloads The extense workolad is one of the biggest challenges to be faced by the category. To work at Sundays and holidays and to remain at the work place beyond the hired timetable to guarantee the sale and, consequently, the maintenance of income, is common among those who work at the sector. |

How Brazil overcame the crisis is theme at CSI Congress The countries have to invest at the internal market, to valorizate work, salary and income distribution to overcome the international financial crisis, which started at the end of 2008 at the United States and still disturbs the strongest economies of the world. To summarize, this speech is a portrait of the economic politic of the Brazilian government adopted when the international crisis started. It has been presented by our Central at the 2nd Congress of the Trade Union International Confederation (CSI), at the end of June, in Vancouver, Canada. We’ve shown to the delegates that in order to reach the welfare of the people, to keep and enlarge the social achievements, the example to be followed is the example of Brazil. On the contrary of the USA and of the european countries, our country has for years safe mechanismes of fiscalization of the financial system. Besides, it has invested strongly at work and market valorization, at the salaries increase and at the creation of a politic of recuperation of the minimum salary. The trade union movement got a strong unit of action and at the formulation of social politics and presented proposals to overcome the crisis that were acepted by the government. This way, since the beggining of the great bankruft and companies breakdown, Brazil was in a calm moment. It hasn’t experimented the effects of the crisis. Brazil was the last country to enter in crisis and the first to overcome this. We’ve shown that to face the great economical problems the workers have to be united, organized and to be disposable to fight and make proposals. |
