This paper aims to investigate the trade union movement fighting actions in the Post Office in Alagoas between 1985 and 2002, identifying, through the process of Brazilian democratization, causes that led to the organization of these workers class. Concerning to documentation for research, we worked with the newsletters of the Association of the Post Office Employees in Alagoas (ASCOR), the Labor Union in Postal and Telegraph Company in Alagoas (SINTECT-AL), local widely circulated newspapers in the 1980’s and 1990’s, as well as photographs, minutes, letters and other documents from the Labor Union files in the Post and Telegraph Company in Alagoas. It was addressed the economic issues of the investigated period and the administrative model inherited from the military who were in charge of the Post Office between the 1970’s and 1980’s. The 1980’s is presented as adecade characterized by a political opening, by an explosion of strikes in various workers categories, the emergence of unions and various workers associations of, that may be remembered by the resurgence of "combative" trade unionism in "opposition" to the bureaucratic union structure in Brazil.
