The right to strike was reconquered in 1978, trying the retaken one of the fight for social rights large-scale. The unions of the workers of the city and the field had gained autonomy in relation to the state, and increasing representation. The Constitution has one capitulates entire (II) consecrated to the social rights, the article 7 enumerates nothing less than 34 rights of the urban and agricultural workers. For this enumeration one said that Brazil is one of the most complete states of welfare of the planet. But the 1988 constitution arrived a little late, it was promulgated naked time where the neoliberal against-reform already was in full course in the North America and Europe and penetrating in Latin America. Ahead of the Retrocession of the Social Rights as it is known from years 1980 the economic ortodoxia and the dominant ideology of the capitalist world move.

The Keynesianismo was being each time more rejected by the classrooms dominant and substituted for the neoliberalismo.

In the age of the neoliberalismo, the economic policies restrain the effectiveness of the inflationary pressures and the levels of prices had only gone up of insignificant form, in compensation, the economic growth decelerated and the unemployment increased systematically ties to reach comparable levels to the effective ones during the great depression of years 30. The predominance of the neoliberalismo during years 80 and 90 did not obtain to eliminate the conquered social rights already, but it hindered that new they were gotten.
