The state and the unions are the main institutions of corporate governance in Brazil's emerging economy. The human-resource management policies of firms rely on changes in labor law and labor market regulations rather than on managerial models. The legal measures taken by the past two administrations, including profit-related pay and the hour bank, all aim at flexibility and labor market deregulation. The current reforms of Brazilian labor law apparently fit, in a contradictory way, long-standing banners of the "new unionism" such as decentralized negotiations and anticorporatist procedures. Neoliberal policies have disrupted old labor allegiances, leaving the unions more vulnerable than ever. El estado y los sindicatos son las principales instituciones de gobierno corporativista en la emergente economía brasileña. Las políticas de administración de recursos humanos de las empresas depende más de cambios en la ley laboral y de la regulación del mercado de trabajo que de modelos de gestión empresarial. Las medidas legales tomadas por las dos últimas administraciones, incluyendo las políticas de salarios atados a las ganancias y el banco de horas, todos apuntan a la flexibilidad y desregulación del mercado de trabajo. Aparentemente las actuales reformas de la ley laboral brasileña caben, en forma contradictoria, en lemas establecidos del "nuevo sindicalismo" como son negociaciones descentralizadas y procedimientos anti-corporativos. Las antiguas lealtades laborales, ahora quebrantadas por la política neoliberal, deja a los sindicatos más vulnerables que nunca
