What SINTE PIAUI does

SINTE PIAUI (legal name: Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação Básica Pública do Piauí) is a Brazilian labor union founded in 1968 and headquartered in Teresina, Piauí, at Rua Heitor Castelo Branco, 2478 — Centro/Sul. It represents public basic education workers across the state of Piauí, organized through a network of 27 Regional Nuclei (Núcleos Regionais) covering different municipalities. The union is affiliated with two national labor organizations, CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores) and CNTE (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Educação), and engages internationally with IEAL (Internacional da Educação para a América Latina). Leadership is headed by President Paulina Almeida. SINTE PIAUI also operates supplementary member-benefit facilities: a Colônia de Férias (vacation colony) in Luiz Correia, a Clube Social in Teresina, and a Casa de Hospedagem (guest house) at Rua Benjamin Constant 1270 — Centro/Norte, Teresina.

SINTE PIAUI's core service offering is collective labor representation: salary negotiation through the Mesa de Negociação Permanente (MENP) with SEDUC-PI and SEAD, career plan advocacy (PCCS), legal assistance to members, pension and healthcare advocacy via PiauíPrev, and mobilization including strike action (notably a 100-day strike in 2022 yielding a 33.24% readjustment and 1,157 career progressions). Member-facing media includes the Diálogo SINTE podcast, TV-Sinte, Rádio Voz da Educação, YouTube, SoundCloud, and traditional printed newspapers and bulletins. The organization segments its membership into active public basic education workers (primary) and retired education workers (secondary, organized through the Secretaria de Aposentados).

The union's revenue model is non-profit membership-fee based: active and retired education workers pay mensalidades (monthly dues) that fund operations. Distribution is delivered through the central office, 27 Regional Nuclei, and direct digital channels including the website (sintepiaui.org.br), WhatsApp, RSS, and social networks. No external equity, venture, or private capital ownership is indicated; the entity is governed by elected leadership. Revenue figures, audited financials, and detailed headcount are not publicly disclosed in the available data.

Direct peers

• CNTE (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Educação): National confederation of education workers to which SINTE PIAUI is directly affiliated. CNTE is the apex body coordinating state-level education unions, making it the most direct institutional peer in terms of mission, constituency, and operational model.
• APP-Sindicato (Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação Pública do Paraná): Paraná state public education workers' union, affiliated with CUT and CNTE. Closely comparable in mission, structure (state-level dues-funded union with regional chapters), and bargaining counterpart (state education secretariat).
• APEOESP (Sindicato dos Professores do Ensino Oficial do Estado de São Paulo): São Paulo state public school teachers' union — the largest state-level education workers' union in Brazil. Operates with a comparable model (membership dues, collective bargaining with state education secretariat, member benefits, mobilization capacity) but at significantly larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• CONTEE (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Estabelecimentos de Ensino): National confederation representing private-sector education workers. Comparable mission and constituency (education workers) but operating across the private-school segment rather than the public basic education segment SINTE PIAUI represents.
• CTB (Central dos Trabalhadores e Trabalhadoras do Brasil): National labor central confederation operating in parallel to CUT. Comparable in operating model (multi-sector union federation) but competing for affiliate unions; relevant as a structural peer and competitive counterpart in Brazilian labor representation.
• CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores): Brazil's largest national labor central confederation, of which SINTE PIAUI is a state affiliate. CUT operates at a broader, cross-sector scale but is structurally and organizationally comparable in serving unionized workers through advocacy, mobilization, and political representation.
• Força Sindical: Major Brazilian national labor central confederation. Operates in parallel to CUT and CTB as a competing federation that also affiliates state and municipal education unions, making it a structural peer in the labor-representation ecosystem.

Emerging players

• IEAL (Internacional da Educação para a América Latina): Latin American regional organization of Education International, representing teacher unions across Latin America. SINTE PIAUI participates in IEAL seminars (e.g., 2026 seminar on legal harassment against education unions), making IEAL a peer in international labor coordination and a key channel for cross-border learning.
