Description
Summary:In this article, we intend to observe how the labour legislation of the First Republic was applied in Braga town (north of Portugal), in particular the struggle of the Braga workers to its enforcement, analysing the workers' press as well as the Braga's generalist press. Workers’ rights were enshrined in law, but remained on paper, either by lack of supervision, either by pressure from employers' associations. The workers claimed from the Government and the employers the accomplice of their rights, but without great results.
