Sindisaude

What Sindisaude does

SindiSaúde Passo Fundo e Região (Sindicato dos Empregados em Estabelecimentos de Serviços de Saúde de Passo Fundo e Região) is a Brazilian labor union founded in 1984 that represents healthcare workers employed in hospitals, clinics, therapeutic residences, nursing homes, diagnostic centers, and home-care services across Passo Fundo and surrounding municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul. Operating under Brazilian sindicato law with statutory monopoly bargaining rights over its defined base, the union delivers collective bargaining representation, labor-litigation advocacy, contract homologation services, legal advisory via partnered counsel (Alvenir Almeida Advogados), and negotiated benefit access — most recently a club-facility partnership with AABB Passo Fundo announced in February 2026.

The union's technology surface is a recently launched cross-platform mobile application (iOS/Android, Google Play and App Store) that digitizes member services: digital membership card, agreements and conventions access, dependent management, a reporting/whistleblower channel, and real-time news — authenticated by CPF and registered email. The application is positioned as a self-service layer atop the union's traditional in-person services at its Boqueirão headquarters and a WhatsApp onboarding channel. The platform is functional, not differentiated; no proprietary AI, machine-learning, or data products are in evidence.

SindiSaúde is a non-profit civil association governed by an elected board (President Fabiana Biondo) and funded by member dues disciplined through collective bargaining instruments. Its distribution relies on direct workplace visits and on-site assemblies at member institutions, supplemented by a website (sindisaudepf.org), WhatsApp Business, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The union is affiliated vertically with FEESSERS (state federation) and CNTS (national confederation) and horizontally with CUT (central sindical), granting it participation in national policy advocacy including the nursing salary floor and PEC 19 campaigns.

Broad incumbents

• CTB (Central dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras do Brasil): Brazilian national labor central affiliated with multiple sector-specific unions. Directly comparable as a federation of affiliated unions, similar in mission and operating model to CUT and Força Sindical.
• CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores): Brazil's largest national labor central, of which SindiSaúde is an affiliate. While CUT covers all sectors (not just healthcare), it provides the same union-membership model and dues-based funding structure on a much larger scale.
• UGT (União Geral dos Trabalhadores): Another major Brazilian labor central, structurally and functionally comparable to CUT and Força Sindical. Relevant as an alternative higher-tier federation under which a healthcare workers' union could be affiliated.
• Força Sindical: Major Brazilian national labor central representing workers across sectors. Comparable to CUT as a higher-tier umbrella organization for affiliated unions like SindiSaúde, with similar dues-based and federated structure.
• CNTS (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Saúde): National confederation representing healthcare workers across Brazil, with which SindiSaúde is affiliated. Operates at a broader geographic and policy scale but shares the same labor-representation mission for the same worker base.

Direct peers

• FEESSERS (Federação dos Empregados em Estabelecimentos de Saúde do RS): State-level federation of healthcare workers' unions in Rio Grande do Sul. SindiSaúde is an affiliated union and SindiSaúde's director Maria Tedesco sits on its board, making it a directly comparable membership-based healthcare worker organization in the same federation structure.
• FNE (Federação Nacional dos Enfermeiros): National federation specifically representing nursing professionals in Brazil. Directly comparable as a healthcare-worker-focused labor organization with similar collective bargaining, advocacy, and member-service activities, although narrower in scope to nursing.

Others

• DIEESE (Departamento Intersindical de Estatística e Estudos Socioeconômicos): Intersindical research body that provides economic and labor statistics to affiliated unions including healthcare workers' unions. Not a union itself but an enabling organization deeply integrated into the same union ecosystem SindiSaúde operates in.
