As faces do sindicalismo cutista no Pará: a trajetória e os embates internos da Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) (1980-1990)

Abstract

This dissertation discusses aspects of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) in Pará and its trajectory. Additionally, it analyzes the actions of different union segments through documentary research in periodicals such as Resistência, as well as institutional documentation from the CUT itself and accounts from unionists which were involved during its state-building process. The moment when the CUT was founded was characterized as one of the driving forces behind its formation, given the political “ardent” that emerged at the time, along with the formulation of new ideas, such as the advent of the new unionism, which was equally unique in this context. The period studied has been targeted from the late 1970s, through the 1980s until the 1990s. Thus, the dissertation has looked for analyzing the action, performance, and strategies from different political union which existed before and after the foundation of the CUT, giving emphasis on the clashes of it in the central.
