Strikes had started earlier in Sao Paulo and from there news of the unrest was not slow to reach Rio de Janeiro. When descriptions of the strikes reached one furniture worker on the morning of July 18, he immediately walked off the job calling for a strike at his factory; two others workers joined him. By the afternoon of July 18, only 150 workers had walked out in solidarity with the strikers of Sao Paulo. On July 19, five factories were on strike and the movement was growing uncontrollably. On July 22, the F.O.S.P. of Rio de Janeiro called for a general strike. To their surprise 50,000 workers went on strike on the morning of July 23. Later in the afternoon of July 23, 20,000 metal workers walked out in solidarity with the factory workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe demands for all the workers were universal; an eight hour work day and a 20% wage increase. This was a textbook spontaneous general strike and all of industrial Brazil was stopped and in control of the workers. Aside from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro this included also Porto Alegre, the largest city in the south of Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reaction of the government was swift and severe. By July 26, the government had used all its resources and declared martial law. Army, navy, and police were guarding all the major areas of Rio de Janeiro. The strike carried on into August when the government finally realized they could not keep control of a whole population. The government soon forced the leaders of industry to settle with the workers and as stated above on August 2, 1917 the Rio de Janeiro general strike ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign by tattoo artist \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hells_tatt\"\u003eHelena Lopes from Rio de Janeiro\u003c\/a\u003e. „Força Operária“ means  „Worker Strength“ or „Worker Power“.
