Léo Lins contested Lula's statement that he had worked for 27 years in a factory. According to the author, Lula started working informally around the age of 12, had his first official job at 14, and, as a teenager, entered the metallurgy sector and took a mechanical lathe course at Senai, which lasted approximately three years. The author stated that Lula worked in various factories, lost his little finger in an accident at 18, and from around 20 to 26, was a mechanical lathe operator at Indústrias Villares in the ABC region of São Paulo. At 26, he allegedly left the factory to work full-time at the metalworkers' union. Based on this trajectory, the author calculated that Lula would have accumulated about 14 to 15 years of work before dedicating himself fully to union activities, of which 11 to 12 were related to metallurgy. He asserted that even when adding other periods, the total would not reach half of the 27 years mentioned by Lula on Flow and called him a liar. #Trabalho #Metalurgia #HistóriaTrabalhista (translated)
