NAME:
1) Until the beginning of the 20s of the last century, the main force within the Brazilian labor movement were the anarcho-syndicalists. About this political movement we can say:
a) It combatted the fall in the work rhythm, the deliberately imperfect production of goods and strikes, considering these measures harmful to the education of the workers.
b) He preached the end of the state, as well as of the entire bureaucracy, defended the creation of autonomous unions without any difference between the leadership and the base, and had direct action as a method of struggle.
2) At the beginning of the 20th century, during the First Republic, a working class was formed in Brazil that was the protagonist of some strike movements, such as the one in 1917. Most workers' leaders in São Paulo were influenced by the following ideas:
a) Revolutionary Communist.
b) Liberal democratic.
c) Anarcho-syndicalist.
d) Utopian socialist.
e) Revolutionary Socialist.
3) Most industrial establishments in Brazil, at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, were concentrated in the Rio de Janeiro-São Paulo axis. This region produced 49% of the total Brazilian industrial production in 1907 and 51% in 1920. With regard to the working conditions of workers in the first Brazilian factories, it is FALSE to state:
a) The workers were, in general, submitted to 16 hours a day. The week consisted of six and even seven days of work. They did not have social security, no pension and layoffs were made without any compensation.
b) To face the difficult working conditions, Brazilian workers created mutual aid associations, where each worker contributed a percentage of their salary that would be used to support families in case in
death, old age or accident.
c) The great resistance force of the workers in the beginning of the 20th century were the political parties. Brazilian Labor Party, Brazilian Communist Party and Communist Party of Brazil fought against the low wages and precarious living and working conditions of the working class.
d) The number of women workers was greater than the number of men and they, in addition to receiving lower remuneration, frequently suffered physical aggression and sexual harassment.
4) The Brazilian industrialization of the beginning of the 20th century resulted from the process of “import substitution”. This process was greatly favored.
a) by the Alves Branco tariff that instituted protectionism.
b) for the abolition of slavery and for Italian immigration.
c) the dollarization of the economy after the 1929 Crisis.
d) by the Taubaté Agreement, which ordered the coffee to be burned.
e) by the interruption of international trade caused by the First World War.
5) About the working conditions of workers in Brazil, in the first years of the current century, we can say that:
( ) The worker could be dismissed without the right to compensation.
( ) There was no social security, retirement, and pension system.
( ) There was no legislation imposing limits on working hours.
( ) Minor workers, from 7 to 14 years old, were the only ones who received different treatment, having fairer wages.
( ) Inside the factories, the arbitrariness committed by the masters and foremen in the surveillance of the workers was the reason for countless revolts and complaints from the workers.
