          Abstract

          Com base no estudo da "Greve do Açúcar", ocorrida em março de 1964, às vésperas do movimento civil-militar que destituiu o presidente João Goulart, o artigo busca identificar as reivindicações dos grevistas e analisar suas principais formas de ação política em prol dessas demandas. A greve foi organizada no interior do estado do Rio de Janeiro por um sindicato de trabalhadores têxteis, após a denúncia de que armazéns da vila operária estavam estocando o produto em benefício de alguns consumidores "ilustres" e recusando a venda aos tecelões. Outros sindicatos declararam greve de solidariedade, e a greve serviu de argumento para se enquadrar o presidente do sindicato na Lei de Segurança Nacional, após os militares tomarem o poder. Ancorados no conceito de economia moral, buscaremos compreender o quanto as questões cotidianas influenciaram na adesão dos trabalhadores às mobilizações populares.

          Translated abstract

          This study focuses on the "Sugar Strike" of March 1964, which occurred on the eve of the civil-military movement that deposed the Brazilian president João Goulart. The article aims to identify the grievances of the strikers and to analyze the main forms of political action used in support of these demands. The strike was organized within the state of Rio de Janeiro by a union of textile workers after a denunciation that warehouses in the workers' village were stockpiling sugar for the benefit of some "wealthier" customers and refusing to sell the product to weavers. Other unions took industrial action in solidarity and the strike served as a pretext to charge the union president under the National Security Act after the military took power. Based on the concept of moral economy, this paper will try to understand how everyday issues influenced the adherence of workers to popular mobilizations.
