SATED/RS

What SATED/RS does

SATED/RS (Sindicato dos Artistas e Técnicos em Espetáculos de Diversões do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul) is a first-degree labor union founded in 1987 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, representing professional artists and technicians working in entertainment across the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Its membership base spans actors, dancers, circus performers, choreographers, magicians, and audiovisual professionals, plus the production companies and employers that hire them. The union holds a government-mandated monopoly on professional registration (DRT) in its territory under Lei 6533/78 and Decreto 82.385/78, and acts as the legally recognized collective bargaining agent for the category.

The union's core services are professional registration (DRT) processing (R$451 per application), contract registration and visa/stamping (R$9–17 per contract on volume-based tiers), annual salary floor (pisos salariais) negotiation, free legal consultation for members, and standardized contract templates. Member benefits include a digital membership card (Carteirinha Digital SATEDRS), health plan partnerships, pharmacy discounts (Farmácias São João), and SESC RS discount programs. The technology footprint is limited to a website (satedrs.org.br), email, WhatsApp, SoundCloud, and social media channels — the union does not develop proprietary technology products.

SATED/RS operates as a non-profit private association funded by monthly and annual membership dues (R$178/year), legal union contributions (Contribuição Sindical), DRT processing fees, and contract visa fees. The 8-employee organization supplements its core functions with cultural programs including the Prêmio Quero-Quero de Artes Cênicas annual award and the IFRS co-developed training program. It is part of a national confederative structure affiliated with FITEDECA RS/SC, CNTEEC, and CTB/RS, and participates in the Conselho Municipal de Cultura de Porto Alegre.
