GRACIA, Ma. Amalia. Dissemination and institutionalization of the movement to retrieve sources of employment in Argentina. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.16, pp.92-125. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2013.16.74.

This article analyzes a specific form of struggle that exists within the context of the various forms of conflict that have been emerging in the last twenty years both in Argentina and the region. Combining different sources of information, it explains the emergence and dissemination of these conflicts, emphasizing the way in which the protagonists experienced them. This enabled them to question transformations in the work sphere and address different agents in order to place the right to work over and above property rights, and gain control over the means of production so that factories could be managed in a more horizontal and democratic way. The article also addresses institutionalization, and some of the challenges of a movement that remains open-ended, even though its origin places it as a possible form of collective workers’ action for times when companies go into crisis.

Palabras llave : work sphere; retrieved factories; co-ops; social movements.
