A special short about the 1984 strike at CSN
From a series of short documentaries about the city of Volta Redonda (Rio), this one covers the first major strike to happen at the Companhia Siderúrgica
Nacional (CSN) in 1984, and four years prior to the violent conflict in 1988 that resulted in three deaths of workers by the police forces and got a massive news
coverage at the time.
A direct movement for better working conditions and better payment, which also counted with the supported with the local people, outside of the metallurgic company, the place that hired the most in the area. Figures from the workers union movement and others testimony the great events surrounding the day, somewhat peaceful and without reaching the future critical strike of 1988. The one by 1984 managed to get very well-coordinated but still the negotiations between union leader Juarez Antunes, the bosses and the army took some time up until a settlement was brought in.
A small project but very significant for those who were part of such story and also about the struggle of workers union at a time when strikes were becoming a more frequent event of workers demanding what they needed from bosses yet at the same time any misguided calculation could turn everything into a dangerous event or incite riots, violence, or at best to consolidate new figures in the political scenery. 6/10.
