| Sumario: | The 1950s are a period of great significance for Brazilian workers. The
trade union movement, headed by an alliance of communist and labor
militants, made major organizational and mobilization progress that
led to significant workers’ participation in society and national political
life. This article analyzes the trajectory of the Brazilian labor movement
during the period, placing emphasis on factors that are internal to the life
of the movement. Among the latter, we consider constituting forces and
internal disputes, political and ideological orientation and their influence
on organization and practice, as well as the forms of struggle that were
developed. Furthermore, external conditioning factors, such as the political
and economic conjuncture that serve as a scenario for the union actor
are also taken into account, considered insofar as they both alter and are
altered by the latter.
Keywords: workers’ movement, Brazilian Communist Party, military
