Abstract

This paper examines the macroeconomic effects, in particular those associated
with inflation and stabilization, of the recent trend towards the centralization of the union
movement in Brazil. Its central argument is that despite the Labor Code there has been a tendency
towards the centralization of the movement which, together with the decentralization
of the wage negotiations, is an important aspect of the current Brazilian stabilization crisis.
