The worker’s lobby in the constituent process of 1987-88: a study about DIAP’s performance

Author:

Lucas Nascimento Ferraz Costa

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to show the influence of interest groups in the constitutionalization of labor rights during the constituent process of 1987-88. We sustain that the working class interests were articulated by the Inter-Parliamentary Advisory Department (DIAP), through a consensual project to the labor area, which was supported by the main unions, by left political parties and by the progressive wing of PMDB. Through the reconstruction of DIAP’s trajectory we show how the pact was built and which lobby strategies were used.
