Abstract

MERINO, Gabriel Esteban. The complaint about the law of employee participation in profits: the development of social‐political tensions and the struggle for power in Argentina. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.28, pp.137-158. ISSN 1514-6871.

The Draft Law on Worker Participation in corporate profits, boosted in 2010 by the leadership of the CGT and supported by Nestor Kirchner, was central to political debate both within the political force articulated to the government at the time, as well as with anti-government actors. Discussions on this initiative became relevant in 2010 when from the CGT, supported by leaders of the national government and other political forces, set the agenda for a possible vote in Congress. From this moment, a struggle of speeches started between social-political forces, the effectuation of a present right embodied in the Constitution but is not guaranteed in practice, the obverse is the struggle for economic surplus and its reverse is the struggle for power in Argentina. The dispute is spread within a context characterised by a gradual strengthening of organized labor movement (particularly the CGT led by MTA core) and its growing influence on the socio-political alliance articulated by Kirchner until 2011. With them are getting deeper political and social tensions in the joint "kirchnerista" and, more generally, between sectors of capital and labor.

Keywords : Organized workers; CGT; Kirchnerismo; Capital; Participation in corporate profits.
