Export fruit culture of the São Francisco Valley, Brazil, and the economy crisis: effects on the 2009-2010 collective labor agreement
Keywords:
Collective Labor Agreement, Fruit Culture, São Francisco Valley Basin, Brazil.
Abstract
The worldwide economic crisis reduced the demand for imported good to the USA and EU and largely affected mango and grape exports from the São Francisco river basin, Brazil. Fruits had to be paid for within 90 and 120 days. Due to exports and price decrease many enterprises temporarily suspended their production activities and some had to quit the market. Decrease in economic activities also affected employment with deep deterioration in 2009. The collective labor agreement between producers and workers mediated by the Labor Ministry started in January through February. The 2008 economic crisis affected producers and workers alike. Current analysis investigates the conditions of the two groups and their interests in the preparation and the results of the agreement. Maintenance of job prevailed over wage increase, following the model of collective negotiations when conditions are threatened by mass unemployment.
