Abstract

The paper evidences the existence of contradictory movements within the banking category, in Brazil, during the 2000s. On the one hand, the bank workers resumed their strike potential and conquered the increase in average wages and new clauses in collective bargaining. On the other hand, there has been a worsening of the working conditions. The paper contextualizes the recent changes in the Brazilian financial system, analyses the trends of wage campaigns during the 2000s, and discusses the deterioration of work conditions in the Bank of Brazil (BB). The research has the hypothesis that the degradation of working conditions of the bank workers, also including the public banks, is related to the submission of the bank workers to the variable remuneration system, to the increasing control of labor, and the fulfillment of impracticable goals, in a context of adequacy of bank system to paradigms of the financialized capitalism.
