OLIVEIRA, Dalila  and  MELO, Savana. Teacher’s struggles and trade unionism in Brazil: characteristics and means . Rev. Lusófona de Educação [online]. 2006, n.8, pp.117-132. ISSN 1645-7250.

This article discusses some trends concerning the meaning and nature of the teacher ´s conflicts that occurred em Brazil from 1998 to 2003, considering their manifestation either supported or praised by the unions. It tries to identify and analyse the conflicts that took place in that period and reflects about the particular nature of the teaching work, and also presents some technical support to increase the understanding of these phenomena. As a result, there is an attempt to quantify and qualify the conflicts, identifyng the protagonists and analysing their main motivations, outcomes and achievements. The conclusion is that the pedagogical work has been rebuit in the latest years, due to the educational reforms, which may be creating new problems, conflicts and resistance to express the dissatisfaction of the teachers.

Keywords : Sindicalismos; docentes; lutas sindicais; insatisfação docente; Brasil.
