Abstract

The late-1970s and mid-1980 ABC strikes are investigated through the declarations of trade union leaders. The analysis verifies whether the traditional trade union movement has transformed itself into a phenomenon that went beyond class struggle towards a new social movement due to the struggle for democracy. The methodology consists of a bibliographical review and the discursive analysis of the members of the trade unions during that historical period.
