Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores): Brazil's largest labor central, of which Sintepe is an affiliate. Overlaps with Sintepe in labor rights advocacy and national mobilization, but operates across all sectors and at national scale rather than a single state's education vertical.
• IEAL (Internacional da Educação para a América Latina): Latin American regional education union organization affiliated with Sintepe. Comparable as a labor/education federation but operates at a regional/international scope with broader policy and capacity-building remits.
• CNTE (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Educação): National federation to which Sintepe is affiliated. Operates as a broader umbrella across all state-level education unions in Brazil; comparable in advocacy, mobilization, and policy influence but operates at national rather than state scope.

Direct peers

• SINSEPE (Sindicato dos Servidores Públicos do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul): Rio Grande do Sul public servants' union covering education workers among other state employees. Directly comparable as a state-level dues-funded labor organization representing public education personnel, with similar PCCV-style career and salary negotiations.
• SIND-UTE (Sindicato Único dos Trabalhadores em Educação de Minas Gerais): Statewide public education union in Minas Gerais with a similar dues-funded model and CNTE/CUT affiliation. Comparable in mission, member segments (active teachers, retirees, administrative staff), and focus on collective bargaining and career plan reformulation.
• SINPRO (Sindicato dos Professores) - various state chapters: Network of state-level teachers' unions (e.g., SINPRO-SP) with comparable dues-funded, member-service models focused on teacher representation and professional development; comparable in service mix and member engagement.
• APEOESP (Sindicato dos Professores do Ensino Oficial do Estado de São Paulo): State-level teachers' union in São Paulo, the largest education union in Brazil. Directly comparable to Sintepe in mission (representing public education workers), funding model (dues), and advocacy focus (salary campaigns, career plans). Provides a benchmark for scale and digital capability in the same category.
• APP-Sindicato (Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação Pública do Paraná): Public education workers' union in Paraná, affiliated with CNTE and CUT just like Sintepe. Operates the same dues-based, state-level representation model with regional nuclei, making it a structurally close peer for benchmarking service delivery and mobilization effectiveness.
• FETEMS (Federação dos Trabalhadores em Educação de Mato Grosso do Sul): State-level federation of public education workers in Mato Grosso do Sul, affiliated with CNTE and CUT. Structurally similar to Sintepe in dues-based funding, regional representation, and collective bargaining with state government.

Regional players

• CONTEE (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Estabelecimentos de Ensino): National confederation representing private-sector education workers in Brazil. Adjacent peer: shares the education-labor advocacy mission but focuses on private-sector rather than public-sector workers, providing a useful benchmark for service differentiation strategies.
