7.  (SBU) The Afro-Brazilian community hopes to exploit the
recently discovered oil reserves off Brazil.  Rosana Aparecida da
Silva of CUT's Anti-discrimination Secretariat was adamant about
keeping pre-salt monies in Brazil.  According to her, a
nationalistic approach would keep natural resources and technical
jobs in Brazil and generate jobs as well as monies for public
policies to help marginalized groups like Afro-Brazilians.

BANKING NO PRÉ-SAL

7. (SBU) A comunidade afro-brasileira espera explorar o descobriu recentemente reservas de petróleo na costa do Brasil. Rosana Aparecida da Silva da Secretaria Anti-discriminação da CUT foi inflexível sobre mantendo o dinheiro do pré-sal no Brasil. Segundo ela, a abordagem nacionalista iria manter os recursos naturais e técnica
empregos no Brasil e gerar empregos, bem como as verbas para público políticas para ajudar os grupos marginalizados como os afro-brasileiros

(SBU) Labor sector representatives stated that unions had only begun to focus on racial inequality in the last decade as labor leaders realized that the issues unions champion (wages, health care, working conditions) overlap with race. To better address racial issues, the three major labor unions in Brazil, Union Movement (FS) General Union of Workers (UGT) and Sole Center of Workers (CUT) with the help of the AFL-CIO and the Interamerican Regional Organization of Workers (ORIT) created the Interamerican Institute for Racial Equality (INSPIR) in 1995. INSPIR takes three-pronged approach to labor/race issues. It promotes anti-discriminatory policies within unions, promotes anti-racism in collective bargaining and tries to influence public policy. In response to Acting Chairman Ishimaru inquiry about the demography of unions, INSPIR reps conceded that, although there are some black union leaders, none of the major labor federations (CUT, UGT, FS) know the racial demographics of their own organizations.
