What Sinait does

SINAIT (Sindicato Nacional dos Auditores Fiscais do Trabalho) is the sole national trade union representing Brazil's federal Labor Tax Auditors (Auditores-Fiscais do Trabalho), civil servants within the Ministry of Labor and Employment responsible for enforcing labor legislation, including workplace safety, anti-slave labor, and anti-child labor regulations. Founded on October 7, 1988 — two days after the promulgation of Brazil's 1988 Federal Constitution that granted public servants the right to organize — SINAIT was the first public servant union established in Brazil and remains the exclusive statutory representative of its category. The organization provides professional representation, salary negotiation advocacy, legal assistance for labor disputes, technical-professional development, and defends the institutional role of labor inspection before government, legislative, and international bodies including the International Labor Organization (ILO/OIT) and CIIT (Ibero-American Confederation of Labor Inspectors).

The union operates a distributed national structure with headquarters in Brasília and Delegacias Sindicais (state-level branch unions) in all 27 Brazilian states plus the Federal District. Its member-facing digital infrastructure includes a web portal (Área do Filiado), mobile applications on Google Play and Apple App Store, a digital archive (Acervo Digital), and the SINAIT Play YouTube channel, supported by an active presence across Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and email newsletters. Governance is exercised through elected bodies on triennial cycles: the Assembleia Geral Nacional (National General Assembly), Conselho de Delegados Sindicais, and Diretoria Executiva Nacional, currently led by President Bob Everson Carvalho Machado (2023-2026 triennium).

SINAIT's revenue is generated exclusively through recurring monthly membership dues (mensalidades) set at 0.78% of the lowest remuneration established by current legislation for the Labor Tax Auditor category, with automatic adjustment upon changes to base salary. Dues are collected via payroll deduction, automatic bank debit, identified deposit, or bank slip, with extraordinary financial contributions subject to approval by the National General Assembly. As a non-profit labor union, SINAIT has no equity ownership, no parent company, and is not a candidate for traditional investment vehicles; its strategic posture is defined by representational advocacy rather than commercial growth.

Others

• CONDSEF - Confederação dos Trabalhadores no Serviço Público Federal: Brazilian confederation of federal public service workers. Relevant as a broader federal civil servant umbrella body that SINAIT interfaces with through Fonasefe, though it aggregates multiple categories rather than specializing in a single profession.
• CIIT - Confederación Iberoamericana de Inspectores de Trabajo: Ibero-American confederation of labor inspectors, of which SINAIT is an affiliate. Mission-aligned (defending labor inspection institution, improving worker conditions) and provides the international peer network, but operates as a coordinating confederation rather than a single-category national union.

Direct peers

• SINPECPF - Sindicato Nacional dos Peritos Criminais Federais: Brazilian national union for federal criminal experts. Operates the same single-category federal civil servant union model as SINAIT — statutory representation rights, dues-based revenue indexed to civil service pay, and member services concentrated on a narrow federal career category.
• ANFIP - Associação Nacional dos Auditores-Fiscais da Receita Federal do Brasil: Brazilian national association for federal tax revenue auditors. Highly comparable to SINAIT — both represent single federal auditor categories with statutory representation rights, similar member service suites (legal aid, advocacy, professional development), and dues-based funding tied to civil service salaries.
• UNAFISCO Sindical: Another Brazilian national union representing federal tax revenue auditors. Closely mirrors SINAIT's structure: single-category federal civil servant union with national representation, dues-funded revenue, advocacy and legal assistance to members, and participation in broader civil service federation forums.
• ADPF - Associação Nacional dos Delegados da Polícia Federal: Brazilian national association for federal police delegates. Comparable to SINAIT as a category-specific federal career organization with representation rights, advocacy before federal authorities, and member services — though focused on law enforcement rather than labor inspection.

Emerging players

• Public Services International (PSI): Global federation of public service unions. Thematically related as a federation of public-sector labor organizations, but operates at vastly greater scale and broader scope than SINAIT's single-category national focus.
• IALI - International Association of Labour Inspection: International association focused on labor inspection professionals and standards. Aligns thematically with SINAIT's institutional mission around labor inspection, though it operates at a broader international scope rather than serving a single national professional category.
