Resumen

VELASQUEZ ORELLANA, Diego  y  SOMMA, Nicolás. When Does the Police Repress Workers? Police Action during Strikes in Chile. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.241, pp.281-315.  Epub 19-Mar-2021. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2020.241.68277.

This article studies the responses of the Chilean state to labor strikes through police actions. It analyzes 552 strikes taking place between 2010 and 2015 and collected by the Labor Strike Observatory (UAH-COES). The results suggest that the decision of whether or not to send policemen to protest sites is shaped by political-economic considerations aimed at protecting the production of companies. Specifically, the chances of police presence increase for strikes taking place in strategic economic areas, involving a larger number of protesters, demanding workers’ control of the productive process and employing disruptive tactics (beyond the strike itself). Once policemen are present, they act more violently the more workers involved, the more disruptive their tactics and the more outsourcing workers are among the protesters.

Palabras llave : police repression; labor strike; structural power; outsourcing workers; Chile.
