Abstract
Description
El 2 de mayo de 1928 se inicia una huelga de estibadores portuarios en Rosario despuĆ©s de aƱos de tibia actividad sindical. DĆas mĆ”s tarde, varios hechos de sangre provocaron la solidaridad obrera con dos paros generales que conmovieron a la ciudad por su agitaciĆ³n y violencia. Los portuarios villenses tambiĆ©n se solidarizaron y, un mes mĆ”s tarde, encabezaron un violento reclamo laboral. El motivo inicial de las huelgas fue el salarial, pero la cuestiĆ³n de fondo que hilvana a ambas experiencias es la puja social por el deterioro de las condiciones laborales y las imposiciones empresarias en el control y selecciĆ³n de la fuerza de trabajo.En principio la espontaneidad de la protesta tomĆ³ por sorpresa a las organizaciones sindicales de izquierda que durante la dĆ©cada del 20 habĆan mostraban varias fracturas, no obstante serĆ” la oportunidad que explica la reorganizaciĆ³n y difusiĆ³n del movimiento obrero con posterioridad. En otro sentido, los conflictos en Rosario y Villa ConstituciĆ³n reflejan la compleja trama de la polĆtica santafesina y su conexiĆ³n con el Ć”mbito laboral. Asimismo, creemos que los sucesos de 1928 tienen una repercusiĆ³n mayor que la estrictamente local engarzĆ”ndose en un ciclo de conflictividad que involucra a buena parte de la economĆa agroexportadora.
On May 2, 1928, after years of light union activity, a dockers' strike broke in Rosario. Days later, several blood episodes rose workers solidarity with two general strikes which shook the city due to their agitation and violence. The dockers from Villa Constitucion also showed their solidarity and, one month later, led a violent labor claim. The initial reason for the strikes was remuneration, but the deep problem which puts together both experiences is the social struggle due to labor conditions deterioration and business impositions over the selection and control of the labor force. Initially, the spontaneity of the protest took the leftist union organizations ā which had experienced several fractures during the '20sā by surprise. Nevertheless, this would be the opportunity which explains the reorganization and dissemination of the labor movement afterwards. In another sense, the conflicts in Rosario and Villa Constitucion reflect the complex weave of politics in Santa Fe and its connection to the labor sphere. Likewise, we believe that the repercussion of the 1928 events goes beyond the strictly local one, as the events link themselves to a cycle of conflictivity which involved a good deal of the agro-export economy.
