ASPIAZU, Eliana Laura. Gender inequalities in the discourses of the union leaders in Argentina. Case Study in the health sector. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.53, 00008. ISSN 0188-7653.  https://doi.org/10.18504/pl2753-008-2019.

In a context of increasing labor and union participation of women that coexists with multiple situations of inequality and discrimination, this article seeks to identify the degree of recognition and understanding on the part of the Argentine trade union leadership about gender inequalities, analyzing cultural and subjective aspects of the problem. The empirical study is based on qualitative case study methodology in health unions in Argentina, which is one of the most feminized activities where the proportion of women is not reflected either in union representation or the trade policies.

Keywords : Gender equality; women in trade unions; union culture; discourses; trade-unionism; health sector; Argentina.
