Con hilos rotos vamos tejiendo otra historia: Lucha y experiencia obrera en el parque textil de Trelew

Abstract

Between 1990 and 2000, a period characterized in Argentina by the imposition of financial capital hegemony and the advance of the neoliberal model, the workers from northeastern province Chubut carried out many experiences on how to resist to this project of pauperization and expulsion of their social territories. In this article we focus on the study of textile workers of Trelew's industrial region, analyzing some specific conflicts that allow us to advance our understanding of the whole process of resistance. We also address the changes in the economic and social structure of the region, exploring their impact on the ways of struggle developed by workers in their attempt to resist the process. Many changes took place in these years in the working class struggle and in their forms of organization. The description and analysis of some of the major conflicts allow us to understand how social processes impacted on the working experience of textile workers during this period of abrupt change of their social territory
