RESUMO

"The heirs of Sisifus: the collective action of the workers of Porto Alegre between 1958 and 1964" deals with labor unionism within the context ofthe organizational and political rise ofthe labour movement in Rio Grande do Sul. I approach, various questions related to the study of the working class: organisational project, working classculture, leadership and union members, unions and the public environment etc, however, I focus upon the study of the relations between labor unionism, the state government and the state. Using this investigatíve point ofview. I present other interpretative possibilities to ana1yzethe presence of the working class in the construction of Brazilian citizenship. This option implies an inevitable critical dialogue with some of what are considered to be the classical studies about populism and the history of the Brazilian working class. I organized the structure ofthe dissertation into four interrelated parts: first1y,I contextualize the polítical and economical debate aboutthe insertion ofthe southem state, Rio Grande do Sul, into the developmental project, which was implanted in the country at that time with the intention to explain the conditions which led to the brief ascension and primacy of this workers project in Rio Grande do Sul and initially studied the successful electoral campaign used by Leonel Brizola that 100to his goveming of the state. Secondly, in the attempt to present the determining, principal characteristics of labor unionism in Porto Alegre, I researched and used collective workers actions against the social problems existing at that time. Thirdly, I situate the relations between labor unionism and the state government of Leonel Brizola, analysing the process of nationalizing the Electric Energy Company of Rio Grande do Sul. Finally 1, reconstruct the specific contribution of the working force and their organizations in one of the principIe politica1actions in the history of Rio Grande do Sul: The Movement for Democratic Resistence. also popularly known as the Legalizing Movement
