The São Paulo labor dispute becomes a general strike

📅 12 Yüli 1917 📍 Brazil

The strike movement broadened across workplaces and neighborhoods in São Paulo in mid-July. Contemporary labor organization, neighborhood associations, and anarchist newspapers helped circulate demands amid inflation and police repression. The strike demonstrated workers’ capacity to halt production and make their demands public. It was a multiethnic working-class mobilization; the sources used here do not support attributing it to one racial group or equating wage labor with enslavement.
