SATED SP

What SATED SP does

SATED SP — legally Sindicato dos Artistas e Técnicos em Espetáculos de Diversões do Estado de São Paulo — is a São Paulo state trade union founded in December 1934 that represents professional artists and technicians working across audiovisual, theater, circus, dubbing, modeling, musical theater, and live entertainment sectors. Under Lei 6.533/78, the union holds statutory monopoly over representation of these professions in São Paulo state and operates the legally required professional registration (DRT) process. It serves individual members rather than enterprise customers, with primary user segments being performing artists, technical crew (lighting, sound, video, stage design), child performers (artistas mirins), and the audiovisual production sector specifically.

The organization delivers services through a hybrid physical-digital model: a headquarters at Av. São João, 1086 in central São Paulo plus 15 regional representations across the state (Araçatuba, Bauru, Barretos, Campinas, Franca, Itapeva, Presidente Prudente, Marília, Santos, Sorocaba, São José do Rio Preto, São José dos Campos, Registro, Ribeirão Preto, and RA São Paulo), supplemented by an online member portal at sated.fractaldata.com.br. Member-facing channels include the official website, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email newsletter, and virtual general assemblies on Zoom. Core service offerings include DRT issuance, legal advice and dispute resolution, contract registration (both individual and employer-side), model contract templates, and collective bargaining agreements covering wages, working conditions, auditions, and harassment protections — exemplified by the November 2025 first-of-its-kind CCT with SIAESP for audiovisual actors.

The business model is member-funded: SATED SP explicitly states it has never received public funding or parliamentary amendment resources, sustaining operations exclusively through category contributions from artists and technicians. Pricing for union membership is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct via in-person offices, the regional network, and self-service digital channels. Recent activity indicates organizational momentum through new sector-specific collective agreements (audiovisual, dance via Association Pró-Dança, technical services at CEU units), anti-racism and anti-harassment initiatives coordinated with peer unions, and a leadership transition in 2025-2026 from Rita de Cassia Teles to Rudifran de Almeida Pompeu. No technology products, APIs, or AI capabilities are offered; the core technology footprint is limited to a transactional member portal and standard digital communications.
