This paper retrieves fndings in what we have called blurring of union representation at the grassroots level, based on the perception of the workersthemselves (Mingo, Sarrot y ots. 2012; 2014). The current discussion about the place of the guilds encompasses found conceptions; some support thisblurring, emphasizing the devaluation of its representativeness, and others describe its strengthening after the decline of the 1990s and the crisis of 2001,which is felt more structurally. In this context we present investigative advances on the trade union issue from the perspective of construction workers inthe cities of Parana and Santa Fe in the last years of the 21st century. For this, we focus on the concepts of representation and union representation, froma qualitative methodological perspective, with the objective of making an exploratory contribution to the study of the articulation between workers andconstruction guilds in a geographical area of vacancy of this type of inquiries.
