Abstract: This article aimed to investigate the crisis of Brazilian union representation in the face of new forms of hiring. To this end, it discusses the crisis of unionism in Brazil in a historical sense; exposes the factors that contribute to the crisis of union representation; and discusses the capacity of union entities to represent and protect the rights of workers inserted in atypical labor relations. The methodology adopted was qualitative in nature, with the objective of understanding the legal, social and institutional aspects related to the crisis of Brazilian union representation in the face of new forms of hiring. Bibliographical research constitutes the first methodological axis of the work and documentary research was the second axis, aiming to examine the legislation and case law pertinent to the topic addressed. 2 It was found that the current Brazilian union model, structured on the pillars of union unity and representation by professional category, is no longer compatible with the complexity of the new forms of work and that the labor reform, by eliminating the obligation to pay union dues, further weakened the unions' capacity for action, without, however, offering mechanisms for modernization or alternatives for sustainable financing. It was concluded that overcoming this crisis of representation requires legislative changes and the reconfiguration of the social role of unions and their forms of organization. To ensure the effectiveness of workers' fundamental rights, unions need to expand their representation base, adopt a more comprehensive socio-labor approach and develop innovative strategies for articulating with the new categories of workers.
