ARRIAGA, Ana Elisa y MEDINA, Leticia. Gender activism in trade unions. Claims and emerging strategies in the National Women 's Meetings. Trab. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.34, pp.91-100. ISSN 1514-6871.
Although female participation in the labor market has been continually growing throughout the western world, and particularly in Argentina, gender inequalities still constitute a structuring trend for the labor world. Both in the labor market and in the workers organizations, the conditions for access and participation are unfavorable for women.
This finding, together with there cognition of some recent convergence between the feminist struggles and the labor union organizations - the integration of feminist leaders in the unions, the call for "women's strikes" originated in other organizations, among other evidences - motivates our question about the antecedents in recent history of the confluence between the women's movement and the organized workers, as well as their effects on the expansion of union's agendas and the progress in the struggle for equality.
In this framework, this article enquires about the main topics of a gender agenda for organized workers, which in Argentina was articulated, since there covery of democracy, around the National Women's Meetings. It also explores some recent local trade union’s strategies which focused on the problems concerning gender inequalities in the labor world.
