This research deals with the role of the Workers' Union in Public Education of the State of Pará (SINTEPP), as a space for organizing and fighting teachers, identifying the repercussions of their actions in the struggle for valorization Of teaching work in public basic education in the State of Pará, from 2003 to 2016. The greatest motivation for the investigation was the fact that there were manifestations of teachers who showed concern about the role of their class entity; The defensive and corporate action of the union and its role with governments; In addition to its operation, the incorporation of new demands, the mechanisms of formation and information, its leaders, in short, concerns that showed basic concerns about the action and the organization of the union. The problem that led to this work was elaborated seeking to answer the question to know if the struggles organized by SINTEPP have favored the process of valorization of the teaching work. And if such actions have brought the teachers of the union closer. The period investigated was that of the governments of the Workers' Party in the Brazilian Presidency (2003-2016), whose policies had repercussions on the teaching work in the State of Pará and the class organization of the teachers, as several leaders of the movement were incorporated into the governmental structure and therefore the State, constituting what we call the "Trade Union Republic". A process that has had enormous repercussions on the mobilization of workers and the political-union struggle of their organizations against the effects of neoliberal policies in the country and in the States. A phenomenon that is part of the crisis of Brazilian trade unionism triggered by the changes organized by capitalism to the world of work in order to respond to the needs of the capital system. The research constructed theoreticalmethodological analyzes from documents and qualitative data collection instruments, mainly from semi-structured interviews. The study showed convergences and divergences on the role of the union in the current crisis and degeneration of the capital system, identifying that by acting increasingly under the institutional prism, managing its heavy organizational and financial structure and the advent of the Party governments Of workers in the federal government of Brazil and in the State of Pará, the union experiences a crisis of political identity about its role and the character of its struggles in the face of the demands of capital, provoking a relative weakening in the organization of struggles for valorization of work, with The accommodation of leaders and the removal of permanent work from the base and the distancing and discrediting of the base with the union. Even in the face of enormous contradictions, presented by the study phenomenon, the results obtained allow the identification of the importance of SINTEPP in the organization of teachers to develop the struggles necessary to search for the valorization of teaching work, being recognized by the teachers interviewed as their political representation and Which has contributed to the maintenance of the rights to perform the work of teachers in the teaching units. Permanently threatened rights, which requires SINTEPP a policy of action and organization at the base of the category, so that, in this way, make it possible to rebuild new actions and achieve new achievements.
