Sind-REDE/BH

What Sind-REDE/BH does

Sind-REDE/BH (legal name: Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação da Rede Pública Municipal de Belo Horizonte) is a labor union representing public education workers in the municipal education network of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The union serves civil-servant concursados (teachers, librarians, support staff, administrators) plus workers with disabilities and retirees, and separately bargains on behalf of approximately 2,000+ outsourced workers employed through state-owned MGS (Minas Gerais Administração e Serviços S.A.). Its core services are collective bargaining with PBH/SMED and MGS, legal advice and dispute representation, training seminars, convênio discount partnerships, and worker advocacy against outsourcing, pension reform, administrative reform, and arbitrary management decisions.

The union operates a community-led organizing model with no proprietary technology products: communication and organizing are conducted through a website (sindrede.org.br), sector-specific WhatsApp groups, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, and the weekly 'Voz da Rede' radio program on Rádio Autêntica Favela FM. A network of approximately 200 elected workplace representatives (representantes) is embedded across municipal schools. The union is affiliated with CSP-Conlutas (Central Sindical dos Trabalhadores do Brasil), a national union confederation that coordinates strike actions and federal policy engagement.

The revenue model is membership-based: monthly union dues are deducted from members' salaries, with the 2019 MGS collective agreement setting the fee at 1% of salary for members providing written authorization. The organization is a nonprofit governed democratically through assemblies and elected representatives, with a small paid staff of 6 employees headquartered at Avenida Amazonas 491 in central Belo Horizonte. Recent activity through July 2026 indicates an engaged, operating union focused on defending job security amid PBH-led administrative reforms and MGS layoffs.
