SCHULZE, Mar�a Soledad. The moral identities in the workers of the fillet branch workers of the fishing industry in the city of Mar del Plata (2014-2015). Travesía (San Miguel de Tucumán) [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp.157-177. ISSN 2314-2707.

This work is aimed to make known the results of an exploratory research about the general issue of the workers’ class-consciousness building process, framed in the context of the Argentinian contemporary society. From a study case about a specific empirical workers universe such as the fishing processing industry workers in Mar del Plata, the sociogenesis of moral diversity is explored, expressed on the evaluation criteria of the production process, the labour market, and the particular working conditions that affect them. We specifically wonder what moral profiles are registered in this universe; which ones acquire broader dimension: if the ones that tend to a heteronomous moral, or the ones close to, or that tend to the autonomy moral. Secondly, the factors and processes associated to the diverse moral concept of social justice, operating in the mentioned evaluation. In order to advance on the proposed sense, a survey of the fishing process ingindustry in Mar del Plata was made, and took place in 2014 and 2015. From the survey, 161 fillet workers from companies and pseudo-cooperatives were interviewed.
