Sindicatos y acción política en Argentina durante la era “Cambiemos” (2015-2019)

This article analyses the resources deployed by trade union organizations and their potential to be revitalized in Argentina since the election of President Macri, the leader of a right-wing alliance at the end of 2015. The article is structured in three sections: the first develops the power resources approach, the second describes the trade union model, and the third, the mobilizations and interactions between trade unions, social movements and political parties during 2015-2019. Two sub-periods are identified, one of social power predominance and the other of associative power. We conclude that the mobilizations and trajectories of collective action showed unity of action between parties, traditional trade unions such as the General Confederation of Labor of the Republic of Argentina (CGT) and the Central de Trabajadores de la Argentina (CTA), and another more recent group such as the Confederation of Workers of the Popular Economy (CTEP). This opened up the political plane.
