Le « syndicalisme de base » dans l’Argentine kirchneriste. Une autonomie en question

In the course of last ten years, the dynamism of the trade union Argentine movement was obtained from, on the one hand, the reaffirmation of the political roll of the trade union directions and the increase of the collective bargaining and, on the other hand, the renovating of the conflict in the workspaces which led to the appearance of a shop-floor unionism provided with specific characteristics: generational renewal, anti-bureaucratic inclination and relative presence of Trotskyist groups. These two concomitant processes raised the question of the constitution of a more or less stable trade union autonomous pole, feeding a base renewal of the trade union Argentine movement. From this perspective, the paper interrogates the formation of a set of experiences that renew the traditional practices and investigates on the existence of intermediate zones between the trade union autonomy and cooptation.
