PAVAO, Plinio. The struggle of the Brazilian bank unions against bullying. Salud de los Trabajadores [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.1, pp.31-40. ISSN 1315-0138.

In the final years of the military dictatorship and the opening of the political process in Brazil, the resumption of trade unions by their rightful owners - the workers - the creation of the Central Única de Trabajadores - CUT / Brazil and the reemergence of social movements, spearheaded the struggle for democratic rights and improved working conditions, leading to many advances for both society and individual workers. In the 1990s, the implementation of neoliberal policies put a greater burden on jobs. Bank workers are in a sector that suffers from bullying. The introduction of new technologies and the adoption of new forms of managing organizations contributed to a worsening of the situation, with jobs being reduced by 50% in this sector and unsustainable productivity demands. In 2000, a collective bargaining process was finally established with employer representatives, and a program was created for the prevention of psychological violence in banks, through a policy signed by the majority of unions and large banks. This policy is an important tool in the struggle against psychological violence in the banking sector.
