Work and trade union: memories from the 30 years of movement in Osasco

Abstract

In this interview, Regis de Castro Andrade tells us about his experience in the famous strike in Osasco in 1968, in wich he was a member who helped in the organization of the moviment. He enfasizes his point of view that the moviment originated from an internal organization among the employees, who were only helped by the students. This idea is a contrary idea if compared to the statements wich asure that the movement was completelly organized by the students. Andrade also tells us about his experiences in the clandestinity, prison and expatriation wich last until the end of 1970’s.
