Os sindicatos obreiros e o processo de democratização do Brasil: a relevância da participação dos entes sindicais na dinâmica do país

Abstract

This article will discuss the trajectory of the Brazilian trade union movement in the transition period between the military dictatorship and the Brazilian redemocratization, which occurred between 1964 and 1985. At the outset, we will analyze some facts that marked the military regime, background of the 1967 Constitution, as well as situations involving the convening of the National Constituent Assembly, culminating in the drafting of the 1988 Constitution and the implementation of a new constitutionalism. Finally, it will be shown how important the resistance of the trade union movement was and that such a struggle represented a successful path for the Brazilian democratic transition.
