| description | This article analyzes the experience of a rural worker who in 1965 appealed to the Labor Court in
Pernambuco to claim the enforcement of rights already provided by law. We also analyze how the owners of the
sugarcane mills made use of numerous mechanisms to circumvent labor laws, including appointing workers as
agitators and subversives. In these cases, attempts were made to represent such rural workers as communist and
dangerous subjects, which could disqualify their demands for rights in the Labor Court. Or it may have greater
implications for the accused when considering the civil and military regime in Brazil, and the workers may be
arrested and tortured, and in some cases even killed by the security and information agencies. In this way, the
functioning of the Labor Court is defined and the plot in which the litigants are inserted in the political and rights
struggles. As a documentary source for analysis, a labor process which compiles the collection of Labor Justice at
the Federal University of Pernambuco. |
