This article presents narratives on the trajectory of the Rural Trade Union Movement (MSR) in Tomé-Açu, located in northeastern Pará state, Brazil, with a primary focus on its leaders. We also analyze the creation of new unions, the Family Farmers Union (SINTRAF) and the Rural Employees Union (SINDTER), both of which originated from the Rural Workers Union (STTR), along with their impact on the municipality's union movement. A qualitative approach was utilized, with non-directive interviews to collect data. The results demonstrate the importance of leadership in the process of structuring the representation of these categories and reveal the current challenges that face trade unionism in Tomé-Açu, especially those linked to the expansion of oil palm cultivation.
