The intervention project aims at structuring a base nucleus, to reflect with the servants about rights and fight strategies for professional valorization. It is known that the workplace is a space in which civil servants carry out their professional duties and it needs to have adequate conditions for good professional development in serving the population.

It starts with the understanding that it is the responsibility of the public authorities to ensure the appropriate environment for the viability of the work activities of professionals, especially those who deal with the health of the population and that the union, as an instrument of organization of the category, has the role of supervising and demanding that the State fulfill its responsibility. Thus, through the base union nucleus, employees are sought to adhere to the activities of claims for improvements in working conditions and guarantee of rights, as well as the strengthening of social participation in the SUS, through organizations representing workers.
