The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationships between work, education and health in the strike of the education professionals of the Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) municipal network, in the year of 2013. This is a qualitative research, which adopted individual interviews and documentary research as its investigation technique, based on the trade union press. We chose the thematic analysis technique, and three main themes of interpretation were identified: work and defense of quality public education; collective learning and struggle pedagogy; and collective fight for health. From the angle of the historical understan-ding of the event, the strike materialized as a space for questioning the situation of work in schools and as a movement of struggle in defense of quality public education. Likewise, the strike raised reflections about the relationship between teaching as an occupation and the struggle for health. The conclusion is that the collective actions of workers are spaces of learning, of production of knowledge, and of intervention in health. It is an extended perspective of education and health, as a pedagogical praxis, which is carried out in the struggle and in the valorization of the collective experience of work.
