Labor Unions Claim That They Have Experienced A Brutal Drop In Their Revenues, Making The Fight For Workers’ Interests More Difficult
Among the parameters of the labor reform, the extinction of the mandatory union tax is included in the new rules. There was resistance from entities that rely on this contribution, with 19 actions from union bodies submitted to the Supreme Federal Court to have this tax reinstated annually on the payroll of formal workers in Brazil, but the STF was not interested in discussion and understood that this contribution is unnecessary.
Votes Of The Ministers
6 ministers voted in favor and 3 voted against maintaining the new rules of “non-mandatory” payment of this tax. Notably, Celso de Mello and Ricardo Lewandowski abstained and did not participate in the judgment:

What The Unions Say
The labor organizations report a brutal negative impact on their collections, which would affect the fight and causes in favor of workers, regardless of the category they belong to. Other points mentioned by them include that the termination of this obligation could not be judged as it was, at least not without a complementary law or a new amendment to the constitution, which would lead to greater support from parliamentarians who are on the side of the unions.
