On 28 April, the Brazilian working class gave a clear sign of its strength and ability to mobilise.

A 24-hour general strike was called, as a unified action by all the trade union centres of the country, against the pension and labour reforms of the illegitimate government of right-wing president Michel Temer.

Liberdade, Socialismo e Revolução (LSR – CWI in Brazil) demands that a follow up 48-hour general strike be called now and be organised from below.
