The National Confederation of Liberal Professions (CNPL) filed an allegation of non-compliance with a fundamental precept to question Precedent 666 of the Federal Supreme Court. The entry says that the confederative contribution, referred to in article 8, item IV, of the Federal Constitution, can only be demanded from union members.


The entity argues that the summary is out of step with new factual circumstances that make it necessary for the court to analyze it, so that it can proclaim a new criterion for the incidence of the contribution.

The entity requires that it be stated B2B Lead in the statement of Summary 666 that the contribution must be applied to all members of the professional category, the amount of which must be approved at a regularly convened general meeting, in accordance with the statutory form of each entity. It must also observe the constitutional principle of proportionality. Minister Celso de Mello is the ADPF rapporteur.

The constitutional provision, explains the CNPL, created the so-called confederative system, made up of first-degree unions, federations and confederations. “The new normative provisions have deconstructed it, with regard to the segment of workers, whose representation is the historically established essence of the unions themselves. Consequently, the exclusive maintenance of the system of employers' unions only generates a capitalism of oppression, since only the strongest still have exclusive access to the confederative system, introduced by the Constitution to primarily convey the rights and interests of workers”, he explains.

The new labor law, which made union contributions optional, resulted in “the collapse of the system of worker representation in Brazilian democracy”, he said. He explains that the protection of the 'work value' was hampered by the new law governing Labor Law and also after decisions adopted by the Supreme Court.



The CNPL cites an injunction decision by Minister Gilmar Mendes in ADPF 323, which determined the suspension of all ongoing processes and the effects of judicial decisions handed down within the scope of the Labor Court that deal with the application of the ultraactivity of rules of agreements and conventions collective actions and executions that have already begun. This decision, he argues, “led to the brutal weakening of workers’ unions”.

Finally, the confederation claims that, given this situation, there is no longer parity between employee and employer institutions. With information from the STF Press Office.
