Abstract

CAMBIASSO, Mariela. Union organization in the workplace and left trends at the recent Argentina: Kraft:Mondelez (ex Terrabusi)ʹs Internal Commission. Trab. soc. [online]. 2016, n.26, pp.389-408. ISSN 1514-6871.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the union organization in the workplace and left parties considering the case of the Internal Commission of Kraft-Mondelez (former Terrabusi) food factory, located in the northern area of Gran Buenos Aires. To achieve this objective, is recovered a recent historiographical debate that argues that the Internal Commissions did not arise with the triumph of Peronism, but rather its origins can be traced from the early 1930s, when there was a strong emergence of the union organization at workplace in different unions and sectors; a process in which the Communist Party (CP) - predominantly- but also other left political trends had a powerful incidence. The article is divided into two parts. In the first, are indicated some of the central points of the historiographical debate about the relationship between Internal Commissions and left trends in Argentina during the years preceding to the triumph of Peronism; and second, are analyzed the particularities exhibited by this relationship in the case of Kraft-Mondelez's Internal Commission, considering the relationship between the Internal Commissions and the company policies about them, the conflict, and the strategies of the involved groups.

Keywords : Base unionism; Left trends; Conflict; Strategy.
