| Resumo: | During the first half of the 20th century, the Unión Ferroviaria (UF) was the main trade union structure in Argentina. It was the backbone of a significant portion of trade unionism, starting with the Confederación General del Trabajo itself. In addition, it had tens of thousands of members and a variety of functions and institutions within it that made it an unavoidable actor for the protagonists of local politics, such as the State, political parties, or the rest of trade unionism. Although there is a relative historiographic consensus regarding that strength, the explanations of its causes are less clear and explicit. We aim to give an account of the complex web of political, economic, social, and institutional relations that crossed the UF between 1930 and 1943 and that positioned it as the center of gravity of the labor movement. |
