Between 'organisational pragmatism' and agro-ecology
Violeta's story, which is presented below, is a story of militancy which, from a personal and firsthand perspective, offers food for thought for those who are interested in studies of labour conflict and workers' collective organisation and how, through these, emancipatory forms of political construction can take place. Violeta tells us about different aspects linked to the construction of organisation, the role of leadership and its link to patr…

The labour process and workers’ rights at Mercado Libre
E-commerce platforms such as, most famously, Amazon use digitalised production systems in their warehouses. In this article we examine how such digitalised systems impact upon the labour process, the organisation of work and working condition in the warehouse of Mercado Libre in Argentina, the largest e-commerce platform there and in Latin America. In many respects, this case is aligned with the evidence emerging from similar studies on Amazon. T…
Locating labour conflict and its organising forms in contemporary times
The following article aims to provide a conceptually rooted introduction to the articles in the internationally coordinated themed collection on Labour Conflict, Class and Collective Organization, an initiative which has involved four journals focusing on labour studies from different geographical angles and academic traditions: Economic and Labour Relations Review (ELRR); Global Labour Journal (GLJ); Partecipazione e Conflitto (PACO); and Revist…
Amazon et Mercado Libre, regards croisés sur le travail logistique. Entretien avec Tamara L. Lee, Maite Tapia et Maurizio Atzeni
Maite Tapia et Tamara L. Lee ont coordonné une enquête sur les relations de travail au sein de plusieurs entrepôts logistiques d’Amazon aux États-Unis. Avec Bridget Kenny, Maurizio Atzeni a enquêté sur un entrepôt de Mercado Libre, l’équivalent latino-américain d’Amazon, dans le Grand Buenos Aires. Ces enquêtes témoignent de l’importance d’une analyse localisée des firmes transnationales, et des formes d’engagement au travail que chaque configura…
Collective Identity, the State and Politics
An analysis of the current state and political horizons of working-class organisations in Argentina can be developed along two intersecting lines. In the first, we have trade unions representing workers in the formal sector, which accounts for about half of the country’s working population. In the second, we have social movements, based in both the urban and rural space, representing poor and informal workers. These two lines often run parallel t…
Collective Action, Organisation and the Struggle for an Alternative Food System
The following is an interview with Pocho, Union Trabajadores de la Tierra ( utt ) activist from the Argentinean province of Chubut. The interview highlights the struggle based process of growth of the organisation, the labour centred strategy that have characterised utt , but also how workers direct economic concerns were built into an economically alternative and ecologically sustainable project. The interview put in evidence the challenges and …
Précarisation, gestion algorithmique et mobilisation
Les auteurs analysent les effets de la pandémie sur le processus de travail au sein de deux plateformes de livraison alimentaire opérant en Argentine et au Chili, Rappi et PedidosYa. En s'appuyant sur des entretiens semi‐directifs et une analyse du discours de la presse et des sites Internet, ils montrent que les plateformes ont transféré les coûts induits par la crise sur les travailleurs en instru‐mentalisant le statut de travailleur indépendan…
Workers’ organizations and the fetishism of the trade union form
In the field of labour studies and industrial relations, there's a long-standing tradition, common to both the reformist and Marxist left, of focusing the analysis on the trade unions, the par excellence form of workers' organization. Changes in the global political economy in the past decades have completely altered the productive and social landscape in which trade unions have historically been inserted questioning the extent to which existing …

Workers' Power in Resisting Precarity
The growing precariousness of employment across the world has radically altered the conditions upon which the representation of workers' interests has traditionally been built, as it has posed challenges for established trade unions: individualized employment and fragmented identities have displaced the centrality of the workplace and the employee-employer relationship in framing collective issues of representation. In this article, we compare th…

The Revival of Labour Movement Studies in Argentina
In recent years sociological research on labour in Argentina has re-flourished. This revival has seen a turn towards the Anglo-Saxon and international traditions of workplace and trade union studies, but it has been generally one-sided, focusing on the relatively successful experiences of trade unions' organized workers in formal sector workplaces. This has represented a considerable departure from the pre-2001 crisis research's agenda that focus…
Beyond trade unions’ strategy? The social construction of precarious workers organizing in the city of Buenos Aires
The paper presents preliminary findings of qualitative research, case study based, on the organization and collective mobilization of two groups of precarious workers in the city of Buenos Aires. Contrary to research that looks at trade unions’ institutional strategies for organizing precarious workers and at workers’ responses to these, the article starts with a bottom-up approach centred on workers’ self-activity. This helps to show empirically…
Capitalism, workers organising and the shifting meanings of workplace democracy
This article explores the limits imposed by a capitalist system of industrial relations on the construction of workplace democracy. It does so by focusing on the experiences of two grass-roots organisations, from both the formal and informal sectors of the economy, in the context of contemporary Argentina. Against one-sided and abstract views of union democracy, the article argues that, for a critical engagement on the issue of democracy, we shou…

Conflict and repression in an Argentinean car factory
This article presents a worker's account of two factory occupations in Argentina. This reconstruction, rather than focusing on the role of specific agents, allows an unveiling of the dynamics through which the clash between the employer's drive for profitability and workers' interests in defence of their salaries developed. A cycle of conflict, resistance, repression and finally workers' subordination and acceptance of flexible employment conditi…
Searching for injustice and finding solidarity? A contribution to the mobilisation theory debate
This article, using empirical data from cases of mobilisation in 1996 in Argentina, offers new evidence to build on the theory of mobilisation as recently proposed by John Kelly. The use of injustice as the basis of mobilisation raises some doubts for both its intrinsic subjective nature and in the light of cases of spontaneous mobilisations. A reformulation of the theory is suggested, less attached to a mechanical sequence and more rooted in the…
Labour process and decision-making in factories under workers' self-management
This article focuses on the process of workers' self-management brought about by a wave of factory occupations, which has taken place in Argentina in the last few years, with the support of preliminary evidence from qualitative fieldwork conducted in four factories.The aim of the article is to explore the dynamics of the decision-making and the re-organization of the labour process in the light of the constraints imposed on self-management by mar…
