TORME, Mauricio. The subway workers: the struggle experiencies and the bureaucratization of union delegates corps between 2006-2009. Astrolabio [online]. 2022, n.28, pp.101-110. ISSN 1668-7515.

The article addresses the loss of power of the union delegates corps and subway workers since a change in strategy from the leading group when they, politically integrate into the national government in 2006 which led to an incipient and gradual bureaucratization: this adaptation was expressed in a progressive deactivation in the struggles. In turn, the alliance between the UTA management, the company and the State contributed to the loss of power. Likewise, the policies of the UTA leadership regarding union delegates and workers are analyzed in their effort to deactivate them. The methodology used was a qualitative and critical analysis linked to documentary and experiential recording techniques. Analysis of public documents (acts of collective bargaining agreements and state files), national newspapers and left-wing parties, semi structured interviews and participant observations of assemblies and mobilizations. The work unfolds the limits of a strategy for adapting the union body to the State endangering certain labor and political gains achieved and retreating in some others. The proposed topic is of interest because between 2006 and 2009 the change of the majority of the union delegates in their relationship with the State, the company and the UTA leadership was manifested more clearly and a process of bureaucratization began.
