As mudanças na Previdência Social e os impactos para a luta dos trabalhadores: uma análise do governo Lula

Abstract

The aim of this brief study is to understand how the main changes made in the social security system during the Lula administration impacted the struggle of Brazilian workers. The analysis seeks to rescue the possible implications of the changes brought about in the process of productive restructuring in the country, relating them to the sparse performance of the summit unions resulting in the emptying of combative unionism from scratch. To this end, authors were accessed to understand how social security became an important instrument of capitalist accumulation via pension and private pension funds. The Behring (2006) counter-reforms in social security follow a neoliberal booklet aligned with multilateral organizations that imposes fiscal adjustment measures in peripheral economy countries as a "recipe" for the supposed balance of public accounts. The research brings theoretical subsidies that support a different version from what we saw in the national media sphere contrary to the version that public pension is deficient and more, that reforms would be necessary for the healthy maintenance of the public system pension plan. Contradictorily, the measures adopted in the Brazilian social security system occur during the management of one of the largest union leaders in history, which will negatively impact the process of struggle and resistance of the Brazilian working class.
