-No, nor me.

You know, you are a very beautiful woman.

To be honest,

I was never so close...

to such a beautiful woman

like you are.

And nervous!

But i like nervous women,

you know?

Stirs the people.

Be careful, huh, Luis lnacio?

I am...

i am puting myself to risk.

It's me who is puting herself to risk.

And now the speach of the fiance!

Speach! Speach! Speach!

Everyone came here today...

because we want the best

for our category!

We are here today to make a change!

to make a change!

But this doesn't mean...

that we have to change

the entire team too.

Because, to be fair...

it's thanks to Claudio, that is present here...

the doors of the syndicate were opened.

Calm down, people!

it's not enought, but it's not enought,

and it's logical that its not enought!

We know it very well.

Everyone here knows that this syndicate

needs fresh blood!

And everyone here is

already with hot blood!

Our blood is getting on fire!

I know that!

You can see that it is possible to get there

and to get there...

means to sit at the negotiation table

with the employers...

and look in the face of each one of them

who will be sitting in front of us.

Lula! Lula! Lula! Lula!

People...

it is important that each one of you

sitting here knows...

that the workers are not left...

and definitely not right.

The most important for us...

is to provide and take care

of our families.

So...

this directorate is predisposed...

to negociate with each employer.

it is important that each one

of you knows...

that here noone,

absolutely noone...

isn't the enemy of the employers.

In the end they are paying

our salaries, aren't they?

My son, congratulations!

May God help you, mu son.

Look...

go easy on the litter,

because the saint is made of clay.

Did you understand, huh?

Sure, mom.

See?

Very well!

Very well!

Here, yes!

Let's fill the glasses!

Come on, come on!

Today, noone stays with an empty glass, huh?

-To the new syndicate!

-To the new syndicate!

Let me see that paper here,

let me see.

''Approved in a memorable meeting...

with a 6 years fight

of our syndicate''...

My son, help!

My son, help!

they took Ziza, my son!

they took him!

He went to buy bread...

and they took him like that...

Do something!

They say that they will kill my son!

They say they will kill him!

I will do something about it.

go! Go, go, go,

go do something!

-Are you Luis lnacio?

-Yes, it's me.

But i want to find out

about my brother.

I know exactly

what you want.

-So you don't like this country?

-Not the way it is.

-And you think you can do better?

-Look, I am just a simple worker.

Worker, right? And the president

of the syndicate is a wrker too?

what an insolence.

And after that they say

that it's not a democratical country.

A communist is caught.

Another communist comes, his brother,

to ask information.

is it or no a f***ing

democracy

Listen, fist of all

I am not a communist.

Second is that the family

has the right to know...

where my brother Jose is.

He... and you... have some luck.

They almost broke

my brother in half.

Ziza didn't do any harm to anyone.

You know what i wonder? I wonder

what is the logic?

Damn it, he works since

he was 10 years old.

What was this cowardice for,

can you tell me?

But what can you do?

I don't know.

But it's getting more and more difficult

to separte the things.

Soon, except the salary...

the workers will want

freedom too.

You will see.

The fact is that, for a banch

of sociologs...

you are only designers

of the club!

Let me see.

Look at this, Lula.

Oh, no, damn it, you are crazy!

It's one thing to do a salarial campaing

inside the syndicate.

But to convoke the workers

is something else.

This is against the law, Lula!

it's an insult to the govern!

Arnaldo is right.

Listen, people, I am the representative

of the workers...

not of those who are making the laws.

The repression will fall

heavily on us.

This will end up in chains.

So what?

Chains were made for men!

it is important that everyone knows

that this is not a recreational guild.

We are leading

the syndicate of the metallurgical workers.

Let's go guys, let's go!

Don't be affraid to get arrested!

The chains were made for people!

We are living all of this

toghether, damn it.

Let's go, comrades,

the fight is of all of us, right?

For a better salary!

-But where did it start?

-At the sqeezers and on the lathes, my brother.

How many are not working in general?

The entire factory!

What do you expect, my brother?

Today not even the wheelbarrow

of the line came out.

Look, it is important...

for everyone to know that we

are puting our hand in the vespiary!

Everybody has to be

aware of this.

Lula?

-What did he die of?

-I don't know.

I think because of the alchohol, no?

He was burried in a pauper

there in Santos.

It's ok, no problem.

I don't have anything in common with him.

Actually, i have, i have, yes.

Because... i inherited

the kindness from my mother...

but all the malice is from him.

Aristides died.

God rest his soul, right, my son?

The things are ugly out there,

right, my son?

No, not yet, mom?

But it can get.

We are going now to

the stadium of Vila Euclides.

Who will be playing there today?

No, there won't be any game, no, mom.

We will have a meeting of the syndicate

there.

For God's sake, my son...

take care!

We know what

we are doing, mom.

Ai, Jesus.

Lula! Lula! Lula!

Lula! Lula!

The united workers

will never be defeated...

Comrades...

there is one important thing:

Everything that i will be saying

should be passed ...

from the people in front

to those behind.

Pass it behind.

So that everyone that

is here can hear...

otherwise we won't manage anything.

The problem is...

The problem is...

They consider us fools!

They consider us fools!

They think that we don't read!

They think that we don't read!

-That we don't inform ourselves!

-That we don't inform ourselves!

But they are very wrong!

But they are very wrong!

They... don't want to give anything!

They don't want to give anything!

-Nothing!

-Nothing!

They want us to work

more and more!

They want us to work

more and more!

They want us to negotiate!

They want us to negotiate!

And we will negotiate!

But how will we negotiate?

But how will we negotiate?

How, i am asking,

how...

will we negotiate, comrades?

-By stopping!

-By stopping!

We will negotiate by stopping!

Strike! Strike! Strike!

Now i want to ask each one

of you that is here...

raise your hand.

So that they understand

once and for all...

that the decision isn't Lula's,

but of the workers of ABC!

another thing is important...

outside there are a lot of policemen.

outside there are a lot of policemen.

Soon we will

be going home.

Soon we will

be going home.

it's important that nobody...

absolutely nobody,

let's himself provoked!

it's important that nobody...

We have to remember that we are

workers and honest.
