The Brazilian Party of the Working Class's Cause's (Partido da Causa Operária, PCO) origins can be traced back to 1978. On that year, several Trotskyist militants who were not satisfied with the Socialist International united themselves under the name Tendкncia Trotskista do Brasil (Brazilian Trotskyist Way, TTB). In 1980, this organization united itself with the Worker's Party (PT), becoming very participative on that decade's municipal and state elections, having several mayors and state representatives chosen.
In 1990 and 1991, however, several TTB members were expelled from the PT due to their non-commitment to the Party's statutes. After that, the PCO was officially organized and founded on the year 1995.
Nowadays, the PCO mantains the same Trotskyist policies of its foundation.
