Revenue model

1. Membership dues: Member companies pay monthly dues to the union. Legal advisory service with full representation (up to 10 processes per month) is offered at R$450/month — significantly below market rates for individual legal counsel (R$900–R$1,300 per process). The union also negotiates collective bargaining agreements (CCTs) on behalf of members.
2. Partnership and concession services: The union facilitates discounted services from partner companies (credit lines from 7.5% annual interest, reduced credit card processing rates, discounted digital certificates, health plans, travel agency discounts, SESI/SENAI education discounts) that generate value for members but do not themselves represent direct revenue streams to Sindirepa.
