What Adufpb-Jp/Secao Sindical Adufpb-Jp/Ssind does

ADUFPB – Sindicato dos Professores da Universidade Federal da Paraíba is a non-profit teachers' union founded in 1970 and headquartered in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil, that represents professors of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB). It operates as a sectional affiliate of ANDES-SN (Sindicato Nacional dos Docentes das Instituições de Ensino Superior), the national federation of higher-education faculty unions, giving it institutional standing in collective bargaining with the federal government and within UFPB governance. The union serves approximately 1,900+ active and retired professors across four UFPB campuses — João Pessoa (Campus I), Areia (Campus II), Bananeiras (Campus III), and Litoral Norte/Mamanguape-Rio Tinto (Campus IV) — through five physical locations including a Sede Sociocultural venue.

The union's product and service surface is built around member representation and engagement rather than technology. Core offerings include legal advisory and judicial representation (Atendimento Jurídico), collective salary negotiation, coordination of the Geap healthcare plan for federal public servants, and advocacy on federal university funding and austerity measures. Member-facing communications are delivered through a portfolio of publications (Jornal em Tempo, ADUF Informa Expresso, Boletim ADUFPB, Revista Conceitos, Revista Fórum Estratégico), a video channel (Canal A), an annual photographic contest (Concurso Fotográfico), cultural events such as Arrai á, and a Sede Virtual delivered over Zoom. The organization is led by an elected Diretoria Executiva under President Edson Franco, with a Conselho de Representatives and an active Electoral Commission preparing the July 29, 2026 leadership election contested by two tickets.

The business model is a recurring membership-fee structure (contribuição sindical) collected from affiliated professors; specific fee amounts are not publicly disclosed. Revenue is therefore fully concentrated on a single institutional constituency (UFPB faculty), with no external customers, no commercial product line, and no external investment. Operations are supported by a small staff (~8 listed employees) and a multi-channel communications footprint (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletters, WhatsApp, in-person assemblies).

• ADUFRJ – Sindicato dos Professores da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro: Another Seção Sindical of ANDES-SN representing UFRJ professors, with the same mission of collective bargaining, legal defense, and member services at a federal university — making it the most structurally comparable peer to ADUFPB.
