Alexander examines the history of the labor movement in Brazil
during its two key phases. First, he looks at the origins and early
development of the movement from the last decades of the 19th
century until the Revolution of 1930. Then he analyzes the impact
of the corporate state structure that President Getulio Vargas
imposed on labor during his first tenure in power, and the
continuation of that structure during most of the remainder of the
century. Until 1930, the trajectory of the labor movement in Brazil
was quite similar to what was happening in most of the rest of
Latin America. Most of the early labor organizations were
mutual-benefit societies rather than trade unions. This began to
change in the early 1900s. From the onset, organized labor in
Brazil was involved with politics, and organized labor had to deal
not only with the opposition of employers, but also with that of
successive conservative governments. All this changed with the
ascent of Vargas to power in 1930. He sought to win the support of
the urban working class, and with the coming of the "New State" in
1937, the government was deeply involved in the direction of union
activities. After 1945, Brazilian labor was once more influenced by
a variety of different political currents, and by the 1960s the
labor movement began to extend into the rural sector of the
economy. The Constitution of 1988 allowed workers to organize
without government control and they won the right to strike. By
1990 the Brazilian labor movement had attained the structure and
characteristics it would retain into the new century. A major
resource for scholars, students, and other researchers involved
with Brazilian labor, economic, and politicalaffairs.
