Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) | | English term or phrase: SINDICATO PATRONAL | | as opposed to "SINDICATO DOS TRABALHADORES" -- I assume this latter is a "workers'/labor union," but do bosses have unions? |

| | employers' union (or association) | Explanation:
Yes, in Brazil at least there are Sindicatos Patronais. For example, in the agricultural area, it is the Sindicato Rural, which represents larger farmers with employees, while the union which represents employees and small farmers is the Sindicato dos Trabalhadores Rurais.
The formation of unions in Brazil was stimulated by the Constitutional obligation of every worker to contribute one day's pay per year to a union, whether he belongs to one or not. Thus, unions became lucrative businesses, and are hotly disputed. Setting up a union is a much better way of making a good living than working! Under the Workers Party government which has ruled Brazil since 2002, the unions also receive generous donations from Federal government, and many union leaders have been promoted to public employment. |
