DE MORALES, Rafael Vicente. The State, the Bourgeoisie, and Brazilian Labor Law in the Early 1930s: Notes for Discussion. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2009, n.33, pp.129-145. ISSN 0123-885X.

The creation and implementation of Brazilian labor laws during the 1930s gave rise to important political debates. The various stakeholders - the state, the bourgeoisie, and workers - each with their own social project, had forged mechanisms designed to protect their own interests. Within this framework, this article addresses the arguments regarding the Expulsión of Foreigners Act (1907), the "Dois Terços"(Two-thirds) Act (1930), and the Unionization Act (1931). These acts provide clear evidence that the growth of state interventionism was accompanied by tensions and changes, and that the labor legislation was not simply the ‘gift’ of a Corporate State.

Palabras clave : State; Brazilian Bourgeoisie; Working-class Movement; Labor Laws.
