The National Federation of Tobacco and Allied Industry Workers (Fentitabaco) resumes its activities at the national level with the renewed mission of representing the unions of workers in the segment. The entity, which brings together professionals from different states, consolidates itself as the main representation of more than 44 thousand direct jobs in the industry, in locations where tobacco processing units are installed. Under new leadership, the Federation takes a place alongside the Union of Workers in the Tobacco and Food Industries of Santa Cruz do Sul and Region (Stifa), the largest union in the sector in the country. Among the objectives is the organization of the category at the national level, ensuring more political strength and negotiation capacity, creating conditions to expand rights and preserve benefits achieved over the years.
