FONTES, Jorge Filipe Figueiredo  and  CABREIRA, Pamela Peres. Between self-management and workers' control: the cases of Setenave and Sogantal during the Portuguese revolutionary period (1974-1975). Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal [online]. 2020, vol.ser2, n.13, pp.123-135. ISSN 2183-3176.

This article aims to contribute to the history of the labor movement through the analysis of two paradigmatic case studies, occurring during the Portuguese revolutionary period (1974-1975). On the one hand, Setenave, a shipbuilding and repair company, with national and international capital, of male labor, which evolved into workers' control and was later nationalized; on the other, Sogantal, a textile company, with international capital and female labor, which changes during the revolution for self-management. These two cases are representative of the revolutionary struggle and the strengthening of the Portuguese working class, portraying important phenomena in understanding the development of the class struggle embraced in the country during and after the Revolução dos Cravos.

Keywords : Workers's Control; Self-management; Productive Restructuring; Setenave; Sogantal.
