STIEEN — the Union of Workers in the Electrical Energy Industry of Niterói — is an organization created to represent, defend, and strengthen the workers who build, every day, one of the most essential services for society: electrical energy.
Behind every lit lightbulb, every functioning hospital, every school, business, industry, and home that receives electricity, lies the work of thousands of professionals in diverse areas of the electrical sector. These workers face technical, operational, and safety challenges to keep the power flowing to dozens of municipalities and supporting the lives of millions of people.
It is in this context that STIEEN carries out its mission of representing workers, defending rights, participating in collective bargaining, and contributing to the professional development of the category . More than just monitoring labor issues, the union seeks to be present in discussions that directly affect the lives and future of those who work in the electrical sector.
Throughout its history, STIEEN has consolidated its identity based on a fundamental principle: the strength of a category lies in the ability of its workers to remain united . When professionals from different roles and companies share objectives, defend their rights, and actively participate in union life, the entire category is strengthened.
Union activity also means being attentive to the transformations in the sector. Regulatory changes, new technologies, concession processes, corporate restructurings, hiring models, and constant productivity demands can profoundly transform the work environment. In the face of these changes, STIEEN seeks to maintain strong, present, and prepared worker representation for new challenges.
To represent is to stand alongside the worker. It means listening to their needs, monitoring their demands, defending decent working conditions, participating in negotiations, and seeking advancements that contribute to a more valued, respected, and recognized workforce.
STIEEN believes that defending workers also means defending a stronger, more responsible electricity sector committed to society. After all, there is no essential service without professionals trained to perform it — and there is no strong category without unity, participation, and representation.
More than just a slogan, this is the idea that guides STIEEN's purpose: to strengthen the category through unity, representation, and the permanent defense of workers' rights.
Be part of those who build a stronger category, every day.
I want to become a member.
