UNI’s Telefónica GFA
• Brazil – SINTETEL used the GFA to increase membership significantly.
• Telefónica owns large call centre business and were trying hard to keep out unions and stop unionisation
• SINTETEL used the agreement to organise members without the company opposing them, referring to the agreements clauses on ILO Conventions.
• The union now has over 120,000 members compared with 25,000 members prior to the GFA being signed.
• Not all members were as a direct result, but a “Springboard effect” took place where call centre workers joined the union.
