| Summary: | The paper reflects on two decades of military dictatorships in Argentina and Brazil (mid-sixties to mid-eighties) and its impact on the restructuring of the labor movement in both countries. It is our belief that historical delineation is essential for the changes imposed on Argentine and Brazilian working-class traditions. From the comparative approach adopted, we consider the contributions made to the academic literature in this period hinge Latin American labor struggle and we analyze the continuities and ruptures that imposed repressive context to working class traditions: peronist, class, communist and cutista (Unified Workers´ Central Brazil). In the paper we reflect on the early years of the repressive policies adopted to oppress the radical working inside and outside the factory. Also, we address the sources of trade union opposition unleashed in both scenarios, understanding them as political vertices social resistance to the dictatorships. Finally, we analyze the consequences of the state repression on the labor movement; in terms of understanding its impact on workers traditions reconfiguration that occurred in only two decades. |
