New Times Are Still Coming, Old Times Are Still Leaving: Notes about Young People’s Participation and Union Traditions in Contemporary Argentina

Julia Soul

Chapter 3 in Young Workers and Trade Unions, 2015, pp 37-53 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter proposes an approach to the contemporary relationship between young workers and trade unions in Argentina, from the standpoint of a socio-anthropology of work and trade unions (Leite Lopes, 2013; Durrenberger and Reichart, 2010; Rodríguez, Soul et al., 2005). Contemporary socio-anthropological approaches focus on everyday social relationships and social actors’ meanings and practices, which provide further insights into how hegemonic processes develop into situated day-to-day relationships. In this way, the research about trade unions and workers addresses everyday relationships between union officials, delegates and rank-and-file workers. The ‘ethnographic question’ is about the sociocultural processes and mechanisms through which union delegates and leaders become ‘representative’ of their co-workers, being able to express — and contribute to shaping — their demands and grievances, beyond the institutional labour relations system.
