Mutual Aid, Union Solidarity, and Gender among Railway Workers. Argentina, 1912-1917
Abstract
This article seeks to analyze trade union mutual aid practices, based on the particular case of the railroad workers organized in La Fraternidad and the Federación Obrera Ferrocarrilera, between 1912, year of the enginemen first general strike, and 1917, when the first railroad workers national strike occurred. Its purpose is to consider how and under which circumstances trade union solidarity was put into practice and took different forms that mobilized and activated links forged in a dispersed labor community, although interlaced by familiar, affective and camaraderie relationships. The article also invites to reconsider the importance that mutualism had in the Argentinian union life at the beginning of the 20th century, in a context in which the first labor laws were starting to be discussed and implemented.Downloads
