Trayectorias de militancia sindical en la Unión Obrera Gráfica Cordobesa durante la transición democrática

The present work investigates the trajectories of two union leaders belonging to the Unión Obrera Gráfica Cordobesa (UOGC), current members of the union's executive committee. From the historical reconstruction based on oral interviews and other sources we will seek to understand those militant trajectories in the context of “union normalization” process started immediately after the dictatorship in Córdoba, a place where the graphic union occupies a singular space in the tradition that refers to the militant unionism of the 60-70’s. In this way, our objetive is to contribute to the understanding of the process also known as “democratic transition” during the ’80, in particular to the incipient field of studies that investigates the way in which the working class seeks to reorganize itself and the new militant configurations that unfold in the transition between dictatorship and democracy. In methodological terms, we inquire the possible articulation between the labor, trade union and political spheres, with the objetive to analyze, on one hand, the individual dimension (biography, way of political engagement, union trajectories), and on the other, the collective dimension (the reconstruction of trade unions in the post-dictatorship in Argentina), taking into account the specifity and limits of the reconstruction based on the experience of trade union leaders.
