| dc.description.abstract | During the period of the Civil-Military Dictatorship in Brazil, installed from 1964 to
1985, there were repressions and even persecution of various aspects by the State in
relation to union groups in the country, among them, the groups that represented the
category of workers. teachers. Many of the union leaders were persecuted, dismissed,
or prevented from running for elected office in their own categories, which led to
constant claims of rights, which when not served by the state, culminated in strikes. In
this regard, it is of great importance to highlight the role of unions and teachers in the
fight for rights during the period of redemocratization in Brazil, and, for this, the
exposed work uses bibliographic research, as well as field research, through
questionnaires and interviews with teachers who lived at the time, in order to
understand the parameter experienced, and thus contribute to a greater clarification of
the reality of the time. The research also aims to present historical elements through
news in newspapers, official communications and other documents of historical
importance, in order to bring reliable information for understanding the theme. With
this, the research gathers interviews with members of union leaders of the time, as well
as individuals who were faced with the state repression against the class of teachers,
and also crosses documentary references that confirm the facts narrated by the
interviewees, and, with that, , there is a clear need to register and value the importance
of the class of teachers in the process of developing Brazilian unionism, as well as in
the process of democratization in the country, and also in the struggle for workers'
rights, since this class is has shown, in many ways, to be a pioneer in the reinvention
of rights through strikes. | |
