This research aims to present the strike named as "the jaws", well-known men and women who claimed their labor rights which have already been set by the government but were not respected by employers. This strike is considered one of the world's longest ones, having echoed even in England. Unfortunately, it is often ignored by the local population. The strike brought a small impact on wider society because, after 1964, Brazil passed from a civilian democracy to a military system. Therefore, there was harder repression against these strikers, which did not fight back. The strike became an act of silent manifestation, not calling much attention from the media. Parted from the majority of the population it was as a cry that reverberated majestically for those participating in the strike, known as "jaws" (boars that hit the jaws making a very loud sound and frightening its enemies). These men became known as that since they united in a large group and made noises with their lunchbox scaring the factory owners. The strike began in 1962 with its closure in 1969. Even without many resolutions, the workers felt the satisfaction of victory. The Abdala family, responsible for the Cement Portland Factory, felt very much the financial and social consequences of this strike
