SCODELLER, Gabriela. The linkage between technological change and participation in the sixties: the viewpoint of the Luz y Fuerza Capital Federal Union. Estud. trab. [online]. 2020, n.60, pp.92-127. ISSN 0327-5744.

The introduction of new developments in work management and organization resulting from technological changes does not constitute a unique situation of our time, nor have the responses of workers and their organizations on the subject been univocal. This article intends to look at the issue in historical terms, approaching a union experience that was positively challenged by the scientific-technological advances in its branch. We refer to the itinerary drawn by the Luz y Fuerza Capital Federal Union during the sixties. We are interested in exploring how they looked at the problem and the arguments with which they maintained their position. For this, we will analyze through union publications of various kinds, the linkage that they establish between technology and participation; by identifying some concrete tools they proposed throughout these years, and from the conflict unleashed following the Law of Rationalization of State Companies. We conclude that the union endorsed, and even promoted the introduction of technological changes, based on a set of proposals (social, economic, union, political and humanistic) that should be placed in the philosophical framework that the union leadership had on trade unionism.
