The analysis of the Brazilian demographic dynamics in the last decades points to an evident growth of the older population. The phenomenon is a result of simultaneous movements of reduction of the young population and increase of the elderly, with impact on the employment of the aging population. However, the assumption is that there is a set of negative beliefs about older workers, which in turn results in restrictions for their permanence and reinsertion in the job market. Faced with this problem, the objective of this paper was to analyze the position and initiatives of the unions, main players in the defense of workers, on the permanence and insertion of older individuals in jobs. The subjects of the research were union leaders of two levels – local trade unions and national union federations. We used a qualitative methodological strategy and the content analysis technique, as defined by Bardin. In summary, the results show that the debates and actions concerning the employment of older workers revolve around little attention, and sporadic and diffuse initiatives of little relevance. In addition, we tried to understand the behavior of union leaders, and their perception of the companies’ willingness to engage in social dialogue, according to ILO’s concept - a dialogue that seeks solutions to relevant problems, aiming to benefit a large part of the society and the economy as a whole. We observed a restricted understanding of the processes and results, and mistrust from trade unions’ leaders regarding social dialogue. The results of the study point to the need for advances in the understanding and actions of unions regarding both the challenges for the employment of the aging population and the use of social dialogue.
