Sindicato dos Vigilantes

What Sindicato dos Vigilantes does

Sindicato dos Vigilantes de Barueri is a Brazilian trade union (sindicato) founded on November 28, 1998 and officially registered with the Ministry of Labor on May 18, 2000, that represents private security and vigilance workers (vigilantes) in the Barueri region of São Paulo. The union's primary function is collective bargaining and labor representation on behalf of workers employed across banks, schools, hospitals, commercial establishments, courthouses, public agencies, parks, and private properties. Membership is open to all workers in the Security, Private Surveillance and related services category in the Barueri region, and the organization is affiliated with national and international labor bodies including CNTV (Confederação Nacional dos Vigilantes), CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores), Fetravesp, and UNI Global Union.

The union operates a portfolio of member services delivered primarily through its headquarters at Rua Claro de Camargo Sobrinho, 358, Vila Pouso Alegre, Barueri, with an 82-person staff. Core offerings include a free weekly legal clinic (Plantão Jurídico, Thursday mornings), a free in-house dental clinic (Fridays), and partnerships delivering subsidized benefits — notably Amil Dental (276 dental procedures), Óticas Lancaster (optical), motorcycle insurance, and a recreational Campo Club. The union communicates via a website, the periodic Informativo Ligeiro newsletter, Facebook, YouTube, SoundCloud, and affiliation with TVT (TV dos Trabalhadores). It also publishes an online Leis e Portarias portal consolidating sector legislation.

The business model is non-commercial: the union is a nonprofit (entidade sindical) funded almost exclusively through recurring membership dues (contribuição sindical/associativa), with specific fee amounts not publicly disclosed. Revenue mechanics are therefore linked directly to headcount of represented workers in the Barueri catchment. The organization is governed by a diretoria led by president Amaro Pereira da Silva (also CNTV director and vice-president of UNI Americas Security & Services), supported by a secretário, tesoureiro, and a Conselho Fiscal. No external investment, parent company, or capital-raising activities apply; all strategic capacity is constrained by dues income and volunteer/elected leadership cycles.
