Sindicato Dos Radialistas

What Sindicato Dos Radialistas does

The Sindicato dos Radialistas do Rio Grande do Sul is a labor union founded in 1962 that represents radio and television broadcasting professionals (radialistas) across the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The organization operates as a nonprofit membership association, providing collective bargaining via a regional Convenção Coletiva, legal representation through its Departamento Jurídico, professional registration management with the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) via the Sirpweb system, and a member benefits program anchored by a Colônia de Férias in Capão da Canoa and a network of 47 partner agreements (convênios) covering healthcare, pharmacy, dental, education, and leisure services. Its operational scope is the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with regional directors active in Serra Gaúcha, Santa Maria, Pelotas, Caxias do Sul, the Fronteira Oeste, and Região Central.

The union generates revenue primarily through recurring membership dues paid by registered radio and TV professionals. The organization does not develop or operate proprietary technology; its digital infrastructure consists of a WordPress-based website (radialistas-rs.org.br), a Roundcube webmail system, the Unir Votações Online platform for digital elections, and an MTE registry link via Sirpweb. Core service delivery relies on a community-led, field-based go-to-market: union directors conduct systematic in-person visits to broadcasting stations across the state, engaging directly with professionals at outlets ranging from local AM/FM stations to large groups such as RBS and Grupo Studio 93. Member communication is conducted via WhatsApp, email, and a member portal (Guia Sindical).

The union is led by President Ricardo Malheiros, re-elected in June 2026 for the 2026/2029 triennium, with Vice-President Silvonei Benfica and Director/Treasurer Daniel Braga. It is affiliated with the national federation FITERT and maintains partnerships with DIEESE for socioeconomic research and IMP/CUT-RS for inter-union solidarity. The 2026 board election engaged 659 voting members online, providing a baseline indicative of the active membership base.
