GARCI¿½A NII¿½O, Arturo E.. Reglamento de la Uni�n de Estibadores y Jornaleros del Puerto de Veracruz, Mexico, 1939: organization of the work of an industrially strategic union. Travesía (San Miguel de Tucumán) [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp.53-94. ISSN 2314-2707.

In 1902 the ones were inaugurated the "obras del puerto" in Veracruz, which cemented the city as the first port of Mexico and strategic point in its relation to the European, Caribbean and South American overseas. In 1911 the Union of Longshoremen and Day Laborers of the Port of Veracruz was constituted, a union organization of the most important force of modern industrial labor in the city; position catapulted in 1939 with the approval of the Reglamento de la Uni�n de Estibadores y Jornaleros del Puerto de Veracruz, the only one of the guild known until today. And from the aproach and detailed analysis of its articulation, of the historical circumstances of emergence and strengthening, from the strategic position of the labor activities of the guild, which made possible the creation of the document in question, it is interpreted that this is a waters in the histories of modern industrial work, being the first in the ordering, from the guild, of the process of port work; that the insertion of the union in the state syndicalism strengthened it as a political group, catapulted into the bosom of the working class elites during the cardenismo as a propitious moment to outline a first reconversion of the world of work and its processes in the Mexico of the twentieth century; and that this privileged position allowed extralegal actions, outside government control and perverting the work ethic, which led to the increase and stagnant of the port movement and led to the debacle of the guild due to the incidence of reasons similar to those that had strengthened it fifty years ago: a six-year policy, the salinista,  aimed at reconvening the world of work and its processes.
