  • A Mineradora Global Brasileira E a Maior Greve No Setor Privado Do Canadá Em 30 Anos Thiago Trindade De Aguiar1
    A mineradora global brasileira e a maior greve no setor privado do Canadá em 30 anos Thiago Trindade de Aguiar1 Esta comunicação sintetiza observações de campo e entrevistas realizadas entre setembro e outubro de 2016 em Toronto e Sudbury (Ontário, Canadá) com trabalhadores e sindicalistas2 da Vale. Trata-se de um material descritivo, parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado em andamento no PPGS-USP. Pretende-se ilustrar uma série de conflitos relacionados ao processo de internacionalização da companhia, em particular, a longa greve ocorrida nas operações desta empresa no Canadá entre 2009-2010. De CVRD a Vale: breve histórico A Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD) foi criada em 1942 na região de Itabira, Minas Gerais. Durante a ditadura militar (1964-1985), a empresa acelerou a exportação de minério de ferro, alcançando a posição, já nos anos 80, de maior produtora de minério de ferro do mundo (COELHO, 2014). Em 1997, durante o governo FHC, a CVRD foi privatizada num processo do qual saiu vitorioso um grupo de empresas liderado por Benjamin Steinbruch, bancos e fundos de pensão. Na sequência, Steinbruch, em conflito com outros controladores, deixa a CVRD. Em seu lugar, assumiu a presidência da empresa Roger Agnelli, ex- economista do Bradesco, que havia atuado, pelo banco, no controverso processo de avaliação da CVRD para a privatização. Por esta razão, a presença do Bradesco no bloco de controle pós-privatização é alvo de questionamentos, como apontam Godeiro (2007) e Marshall (2015), entre muitos outros. No período de “preparação” para a venda (MINAYO, 2004), a companhia ainda estatal introduziu as terceirizações, bônus de produtividade (PLR) e individualização dos ganhos.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract The Sixties were time of conflict and change in Canada and beyond. Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

The pair visited with nurses at and Long-Term Care The Scarborough Hospital (Birchmount Site) for a tour of the maternity and intensive care units. “Mr. Speaker, this is Nursing Week in Ontario.

Nursing Week really is something to celebrate. And there’s no better place to celebrate than in Ontario. If you understand health care and are commit- ted to building the best possible health-care system, you know that you simply can’t do it without nurses.
