VIDOSA, Regina. Partial reinstitutionalization in the post‐convertibility employment regime: employment, wages and unions in the soybean chain. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.31, pp.305-325. ISSN 1514-6871.

From a regulationist perspective, this investigation analyzes the way in which the wage form the post-convertibility accumulation regime materializes in the main links of the soybean-oilseed complex. Specifically, sectoral dynamics stand out over those of the overall economy, in terms of the main indicators of the labor market -employment, type of employment, salary-. Furthermore, the correspondence or not between the dynamics of the different links of the chain and the national scale is associated to the particularities observed in the labor institutions in which they are framed. For the development of such objectives, the work analyzes secondary sources of academic, journalistic and normative origin -of diverse state orders-. Accordingly, the analysis results in a heterogeneous dynamic between the different links of the chain. The partial re-institutionalization of the labor market, shaped by Argentina’s new employment regime of 2003, shows certain influence in the labor indicators of the industrial links of the soybean complex. On the contrary, the agricultural sector denotes a relative autonomy, whereas the level of employment, its quality, and the recomposition of wages manifest a very uneven marginal path, regarding the overall economy. Likewise, this paper exposes that these so dissimilar paths could be linked, among other aspects, to the differences observed in working conditions, which derive from sectoral negotiations between the parties involved: the State, the private business sector, and the workers, represented by their unions.
