CNI

The National Industry Confederation (CNI) is the main representative of the Brazilian industry. It is the highest body of the industry trade union system and, since its foundation in 1938, it has defended the interests of the national industry. It also acts as the main interlocutor with the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary, besides several entities and organizations in Brazil and abroad.

It represents 27 state federations of industry and 1.280 trade unions, to which almost 700 thousand industries are affiliated. It is directly in charge of the Industrial Social Service (SESI), the National Service of Industrial Training (SENAI) and Instituto Euvaldo Lodi (IEL). Together, these three organizations form the Industry System, which yet assembles the state-level industry federations and trade unions.

Since its establishment, CNI has played a leading role in society, promoting debate and building consensus on key national issues. Especially concerning those matters that have strong influence on the development of Brazilian industry and economy.
