This study of urban labor in Pernambuco draws on the author's experience in the 1980s and early 1990s as a trade union lawyer and legal advisor to the leftist trade union confederation Central Única dos Trabalhadores (CUT) (161). Formed in 1983, the CUT is the institutional expression of the New Unionism identified with Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, founder of a new Workers' Party (PT) in 1979.
