1973 Uruguayan general strike
On 27 June 1973Marxist urban guerrilla movement.
Within hours of the coup being declared, the
Factory occupations took place throughout the country, and many ports, banks and stores closed.[2] On 2 July 1973 the CNT was officially dissolved, though many affiliated unions were allowed to temporary operate, and two days later the government gave all employers to dismiss workers who failed to return to work.[1] The strike ended 15 days after it started, with nearly all unions busted and most of the trade union leaders in jail, dead, or exiled to Argentina
.
Unions and political parties remained illegal until the Uruguayan general strikes of 1984,[3][4] which were a set of several 24-hour general strikes that eventually forced the military to accept civilian rule and the restoration of democracy.
