The Globalisation of capital and its impact on the world of formal and informal work: Challenges for and responses from Argentine unions

By on January 01, 2008

Abstract:
This book chapter looks at the effects of neoliberalism and structural adjustment policies on Argentinian society in general and Argentine trade unions in particular. It looks at how traditional unions have attempted to adapt to the changes and introduces an alternative union movement, Argentine Workers’ Federation (CTA). CTA organizes formal and informal workers across industries, as well as the unemployed. Its practical organizing strategies are not brought up in the paper, but the organization is said to practice a form of political unionism. It is fighting for an alternative to neoliberalism, and is building alliances with other movements that share the same ideals.
