CARO, Matías. The configuration of the union model of Argentina and Brazil in its relationship with the State (From colony to neoliberalism). Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.33, pp.291-300. ISSN 1514-6871.

The present work seeks through a comparative analysis of the history of Argentina and Brazil, providing a hypothetical explanation of why these two south American countries have developed different union models. This is how, observing a more classist and combative trade unionism in Brazil and a more corporate and negotiating syndicalism in Argentina, we offer as main explanatory hypothesis that: the difference in the state attitude toward workers' organizations, mainly restrictive in Brazil and acceptance in the Argentina, produced a combative unionism in Brazil and corporatist (Peronist) unionism in Argentina. To base our hypothesis, we will add to the analysis the specific treatment of the development of public sector unions in both countries.
