ESTADO NOVO, CORPORATIVISMO, CONTRATAÇÃO COLETIVA
The Estado Novo,based on the idea of a corporative state, undertook production of labour legislation on a vaste scale, anchored and informed by the principles laid down in the Constitution of 1933 and in theEstatuto do Trabalho Nacional(decree-law n. 23.048 of 23.09.1933): proscription of classe struggle and solidarity and mutual cooperation between capital and labour. This led to a clear distortion of collective rights that culminated in the imposition of executive trade unions, tne prohibition of strike and lock-out and the initial prohibition and later limitation of collective bargaining. The final years of the regime saw a certain liberalization, trying the regime to modernize itself in response to the pressures from portuguese capitalism.
