Abstract

The following article aims to analyze the conceptual shift undergone by the term “strike’ based on the laws and decrees of 1931 to 1945 by reconstructing the legal framework affecting the right to strike. Despite the fact that the legal analysis is thus central to the work, it is critical in nature and has been cross-checked with dictionaries from the period, revealing the State’s intention to gradually eradicate the social phenomenon of striking by legal means. We seek to demonstrate the incremental restrictions and ruptures made to the concept, from the establishment of the difference between ‘violent strike” and ‘peaceful strike”, and between ‘strike due to working conditions” and ‘strike due to reasons not related to working conditions”, to the 1937 Constitution branding it an ‘anti-social practice” and the 1946 Constitution’s recognition of it as a right, in the wake of the Vargas Government.
