This research focuses on the analysis of the performance of the labor movement in education Mato Grosso. Therefore we seek to understand the concepts that we consider fundamental to support our analysis, such as the Trade Union Movement, State, Labor. Fundamentamos our research also using a broad context of the movement of workers not only in respect to the classic trade unionism, its origins and trends, especially as in the national context. Also consider important discussion about public sector unions, our case analysis. The story of the struggle of the workers of public education of Mato Grosso can be identified even in the 1960s when teachers joined the state in order to improve their work and discuss a better education for Mato Grosso. From 1988 the new Constitution civil servants earned the right to unionize and from then workers of public education of Mato Grosso that has existed for over two decades decided to become union thus creating the SINTEP / MT. Our time frame is marked, so from that point of institutionalization (1988) going up to the year 2012, the year that marks the last administration that we list for interviews. With regard to the spatial area we chose to analyze the organization headquarters, ie, the union throughout the state of Mato Grosso, since it is a single union organized in branch offices scattered throughout the state. This work has character, both bibliographic as documentary. The documentation used to support the research it is the minutes of the General Meetings of the category as well as interviews with former officers and directors of SINTEP / MT. We tried from all the mentioned strategies seek to analyze and understand the history of struggle of workers of public education of Mato Grosso, including redeeming moments of ebbs and flows in the achievements of the class still looking to understand the current logic of functioning of the entity (SINTEP / MT) in the current conjuncture called by many theoretical crisis of unionism.
