Origins, social roots and active joining from the sindicalist force to neoliberalism

Abstract

This article analyzes the origins, the social roots and the active joining from the Syndicalist Force to Neoliberalism. The Syndicalist Force was born from the confluence of two Right-wing politics which act inside the Syndicalism: the traditional “peleguismo” (slang) and the “results syndicalism”. These two Rightwing politics got united when the first Neoliberal government reached the power in Brazil in the beginning of the 1990’s, founding, therefore, the Syndicalist Force. The Syndicalist Force, as a representative of the private industrial sector, mostly, has found an echo for the Neoliberal proposals and also for some aspects of the Neoliberal ideology, mostly the diffuse critics to the public employment rights. The central supported actively the privatization politics, the non-ruling of the working relationships and the cut of social expenses, building itself as an active social force of the Neoliberal governments from the 90’s.
