correlation != causation. I can give you examples of rich countries that have lots of unions. Would you say it's the unions that made them rich?

You should look elsewhere for reasons why Brazil is relatively poor today. I guarantee you unions have very little to do with it.

Just curious, who would that be? I am guessing some Scandinavian countries, maybe?

See the table here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_agreement_coverage

France, Austria, Belgium, Iceland, and Sweden all have above 90% collective bargaining coverage. Finland, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Australia, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Germany are between 50% and 90%.
