This work analyzes the presence of women in the rural workers’ unions of the State of Pará. It considers the unionization of the rural workers in the region, focusing on the change in its profile over the past thirty years and highlighting the participation of women. The work is based on historical documents and interviews with different actors who occupied positions in the union movement at national, state and municipal levels. In total, fifteen interviews were conducted. Through considerations of the concept of gender, questions are raised on the information which could resolve the debates and opinions on the extent to which female involvement in union management has changed union practices. The research indicates directions for further consideration and the need for further studies. The deepening of the debate on gender within the union movement and the adoption of instruments to stimulate and secure participation has increased the number of women in the leadership of the union organizations of rural workers. This effort has not been sufficient to bring female presence to the same level as male participation, with women occupying positions of lower relevance in these organizations. The difficulties experienced by these women and the occurrence of old discriminatory practices are revealed. Finally, new proposals to be considered by the union organization of workers and rural workers are presented.

The Rural Workers' Union Movement (MSTTR) is one of the main collective actions organized in favor of the fight for better living and working conditions in rural areas. In the Northeast region of Pará State, the fight for rights in this category began in the mid-1950s, with the creation of the first farm workers organizations in the region and, later, with the institutionalization of the fight in 1962. Part of the demands of rural workers were rights that urban workers already had, whether they were: health, social security, labor laws and decent wages, in addition to the main demand, agrarian reform. These and other objectives guided collective actions within the scope of the MSTTR which, in turn, constituted the current structure of representation of rural workers. In Tomé-Açu, the Rural Workers’ Syndicate (STTR) was, for at least 35 years, the only organization that defended the category and represented its interests. This reality has changed since 2006, with the creation of the Tomé-Açu Family Farmers’ Syndicate (SINTRAF) and the Tomé-Açu Rural Employees’ Syndicate (SINDTER), in 2016, changing the dynamics of participation, affiliation and collective actions within the scope of the MSTTR. In relation to these dynamics, the literature of social movements has shown that collective action is not an easy task and may depend on a series of factors to materialize itself, as an example, the motivations. Within this context, the present work aims to identify the motivations for the participation of rural workers in the MSTTR, more specifically, in the Tomé-Açu STTR, in Northeast Pará, trying to analyze its trajectory and the current challenges that are imposed on the collective action. The methodology used started from a qualitative approach using the content analysis technique. During data collection, 34 interviews were carried out with syndicate leaders and rural workers, members and non-members who participate in any of the three rural syndicates in Tomé-Açu. The results of the study showed two bases of motivation, one of them being material, linked to the services and benefits of the syndicate, with rural retirement being the main one; and the other immaterial, being highlighted the syndical representativeness. Among non-members, land was the central motivation, exemplified in the case of the collective action carried out in the Mancha Negra camp. In the process of mobilizing new members, the role of leaders proved to be fundamental, both within the syndicate itself, through the figure of the president, and in the local context, through the action of syndicate delegates. As for the current challenges, signs of a crisis in the STTR were identified, which takes place within the scope of collective actions and reflects the problems that occur in the administration of the syndical organization, with the maintenance of power in the hands of the same group for many years, the prioritization of utilitarianism in the syndicate and the lack of new leaderships who could initiate a renewal of the current management.

“Sindicato é pra quem entende” (des)igualdade de gênero no sindicalismo dos empregados rurais de Moju – Pará

Rural women began participating in greater numbers in trade unions, and other social movements and organizations at the start of the 1980s. However, women's access to leadership positions is still restricted. In this work I analyze the actions of women employed in the oil palm cultivation sector and involved in the management of the SERMTAB - the Moju Rural Workers Union. This research is predominantly qualitative, involving a case study in the municipality of Moju, Pará. Non-directive and semi-structured interviews were carried out with members of the Union's management, consisting of nine directors of which three are women. The main findings show that SERMTAB is the largest representation body for rural employees in Moju. Members of the management work in family-based agriculture and come from a wide range of backgrounds and include young people, women and older men. However, decision-making spaces are still in the hands of men. The fact that the union's capacity for action is restricted and power relations hierarchized means that women remain in a subaltern position and under male domination. Breakdown of power relations does, however, take place in a subtle manner when women accept to participate in the union, challenge family structures, debate with other workers and confront prejudice in their role as trade unionists. Nevertheless, the fact that women are not formally part of management hinders their emergence as rural, wage-earning workers and trade unionists.
