During the 'Sergipe É Aqui' event, organized by the state government in collaboration with the federal program 'Governo do Brasil na Rua', the Sintese teachers' union took center stage to protest their ongoing strike. This protest highlighted the union's struggles for better working conditions and salaries as they have been on strike since March 9. Local politicians, including state governor Fábio Mitidieri and federal ministers, were present, which added to the significance of the event.

Carolyn Santos, the vice-president of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT), addressed the crowd, emphasizing the importance of the union's presence by stating, "If Sergipe is here, our fight is here too." The union distributed letters to parents and guardians of public school students, explaining the reasons for the strike and the broader implications for education in Sergipe. This act indicates the growing tension between educational authorities and the government regarding teachers' rights and the need for substantial reforms.

The presence of high-ranking officials at this event further underscores the urgent nature of the labor dispute, as it draws public attention to the struggles faced by educators in Sergipe. The protest reflects a wider context of disputes within Brazil, where public sector workers, especially teachers, have been advocating for better pay and working conditions against a backdrop of economic difficulties. As this strike continues, it may influence future negotiations between labor unions and government officials, not only within Sergipe but across the country.
