What Fetracom does

FETRACOM GO/TO (Federação dos Trabalhadores no Comércio nos Estados de Goiás e Tocantins) is a non-profit labor union federation founded in 2009 and headquartered in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. It represents commerce sector workers—including retail, wholesale, pharmacies, health services, and food services—across the two Brazilian states of Goiás and Tocantins, coordinating the activities of 16 affiliated member unions (sindicatos filiados). The federation is governed under Brazilian labor union law, led by President Eduardo Amorim since 2016, and operates with a lean staff of 7 employees.

The organization's service portfolio is built around three advisory pillars: legal advisory (assessoramento jurídico), administrative and economic advisory (assessoramento administrativo e econômico), and political-syndical advisory (assessoramento político-sindical). It also provides tangible member benefits including negotiated vacation stays at Clube Di Roma in Caldas Novas and an online scheduling platform (agendamento.fetracom.org.br) for union homologations. In July 2025, FETRACOM negotiated a partnership with Caixa Econômica Federal that reduced banking fees for member-union contribution collections by up to 250%.

FETRACOM's revenue model is a recurring subscription structure based on contributions from its 16 affiliated member unions, who in turn pool fees from commerce workers in their respective constituencies. As a non-profit federation, it does not sell commercial products or services with listed pricing. Its go-to-market is community-led: recruitment and retention of affiliated unions through direct institutional engagement, strategic meetings, training courses, and accountability events. The federation maintains an institutional website and publishes over 255 news articles covering labor court decisions and labor law changes as a member-information channel.

Others

• DIEESE (Departamento Intersindical de Estatística e Estudos Socioeconômicos): Inter-union statistics and socioeconomic research department that supports Brazilian labor federations (including commerce worker unions) with economic data, labor market analysis, and policy research. Comparable to FETRACOM as part of the broader labor-union ecosystem, though service-focused rather than a member union federation itself.

Direct peers

• FECOMERCIÁRIOS: National federation of commerce workers' unions in Brazil. Directly comparable to FETRACOM as both operate as federation bodies representing commerce-sector workers through affiliated unions, providing legal/administrative advisory and coordinating collective bargaining nationwide.
• CONTRACS (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores no Comércio): National confederation of commerce workers in Brazil — the direct national-level counterpart to FETRACOM with the same mandate of representing workers in the commerce sector. Both organizations coordinate collective bargaining and advisory services for commerce worker unions, with CONTRACS operating at the national level and FETRACOM at the state level.

Broad incumbents

• Força Sindical: One of Brazil's largest national labor union federations, representing a broad range of sectors. Comparable to FETRACOM as a labor federation that organizes affiliated unions and coordinates collective bargaining, but at a larger, multi-sector scale rather than a commerce-only regional focus.
• UGT (União Geral dos Trabalhadores): National general workers' union federation in Brazil that organizes affiliated unions across multiple sectors. Comparable to FETRACOM at the federation level, providing advisory and coordination services to affiliated unions, though at a broader multi-sector scale.
• CTB (Central dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras do Brasil): National labor union central in Brazil organizing affiliated unions across sectors. Comparable to FETRACOM at the federation/orchestration level, providing coordination and advisory services to affiliated unions, though at a national multi-sector scale.
• CGTB (Central Geral dos Trabalhadores do Brasil): Brazilian national labor central that organizes affiliated unions across industries. Comparable to FETRACOM as a labor federation coordinating affiliated unions for collective bargaining and advocacy, though at a multi-sector national scale.
• CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores): Brazil's largest labor union central, organizing affiliated unions across all sectors. Comparable to FETRACOM as a labor federation coordinating affiliated unions and worker advocacy, but operating at a national, multi-sector scale.
