SINDJORNAL; New Unionism; Labor History
The present work analyzes the social and political context of Alagoas at the end of the 1970s with the intention of bringing to light the clashes that existed in the civil society of Alagoas at that time and how the process of reorganization of the union movement began. The starting point of this analysis is the election of SINDJORNAL in 1978, when an opposition board headed by Freitas Neto wins the election and starts a new moment in the category regarding union practices. We end our time frame with the year 1983, when SINDJORNAL chose to participate in the construction of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores.
