The present work analyzes the performance of libertarian groups within unions during the Vargas Era, more precisely its first five years (1930-35). The Vargas government is notable for being the first to devote its attention to the labor movement, but with its own interests. Through a unionization law that created official unions, the government tried to control the syndicalist movement, to the point of tying the benefits to the condition of being officially unionized. The anarchist movement was one of the few who put up resistance to this issue, participating in trade unions and exposing their ideals to the workers' movement, while confronting other ideologies and the government. This resistance is extremely important to understand the country's historical context and the workers' struggle against this attempt to control, through the actions and use of newspapers of the movement itself. It is important to emphasize that unionism was not accepted by the whole movement, but it was an important means of struggle during the period.
