Posters announcing the strike, in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul
The 2017 Brazilian general strike took place on April 28, 100 years after Brazil's first general strike in June 1917.[1] The movement was a protest against reforms of labor laws, which were later adopted and social security proposed by Michel Temer government and pending in National Congress of Brazil.[2][3][4]
More than 150 cities recorded stoppages,[5] and according to the organizers, there were 40 million people,[6] with no official admission balance or the number of protesters on the streets.[5] With wide coverage in international media,[7] the strike was minimized by the Brazilian press according to the journalist Paula Cesarino Costa, with emphasis given to conflicts between police and strikers.[8] With diverse reactions, politicians who support the government reduced the impact of the strike while oppositionists defended it as popular expression.[9][10][11] Political scientist Marco Antonio Teixeira, in an interview for the BBC, said that the strike was "smaller than organizers expected, but larger than the government would like".[5]
