ARTESE, Matías  and  CRESTO, Jorge. Discursive confrontation in the process of union autonomy of the Buenos Aires subway workers (2009‐2010). Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.20, pp.205-219. ISSN 1514-6871.

After several years of maintaining a tense relationship with the leadership of the union that represented the Unión Tranviarios Automotor (UTA), workers in the Buenos Aires Underground in February 2009 decided to secede from it and form Asociación Gremial de Trabajadores del Subterráneo y el Premetro (AGTSyP). From there, workers in this sector began a process of struggle -that confronted primarily with UTA, the national state and the concessionaire-Subway service in the direction of obtaining recognition of their new union. In this article we propose to explore this process of struggle through the discursive level. The conflict was tracked over a periodization that spans the years 2009 and 2010. Taking as support the daily La Nación, we build a base of contentious statements which allowed us to analyze the personifications envolved, their recipients and the sense of their actions.

Keywords : Trade-union; Discourse; Conflict; Confrontation.
