Trabalho e sindicato na cidade do Recife durante a ditadura militar brasileira: o caso da indústria têxtil Othon (1965-1971)

Abstract

The present work consists of a study about the relationship between work and capital during the period of the military dictatorship in Brazil, between 1965 and 1971. It aims to build a reflection on the historical impacts of this period on the functioning of unions, on guarantee of labor rights and the role of labor justice in the face of violations perpetrated by the authoritarian State, having as object of study the labor lawsuits filed against the textile companies Othon Bezerra Melo. The theoretical foundation adopted in this study is based on the works of Marx and Thompson, whose objective is to understand the relationship between the class struggle, the working class and the dominant class represented by the elites and by the State.
