A Classe Operária

A "Classe Operária," or working class, refers to people whose primary occupation involves manual labor or skilled work typically performed in factories, workshops, or on-site jobs. They earn wages for their work rather than owning productive assets like land or capital. Historically, this class has played a central role in industrial economies, often advocating for better working conditions, fair wages, and workers' rights. Their economic stability and social influence are tied to labor markets, and they are distinct from the bourgeoisie, or capital-owning class, in class-based analyses of society.
