ALDAO, JOAQUÍN ALBERTO. Railway strikes during the Frondizi government in Argentina. Repressive devices, union bureaucratization and flashes of radicalization. Hist. Caribe [online]. 2023, vol.18, n.42, pp.231-261.  Epub 13-Ago-2023. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.42.2023.3633.

Two railway strikes during the government of Arturo Frondizi (1958-1962) were analyzed in the context of the implementation of a state rationalization plan. The objective was to describe the repressive strategies and their effects on unionism and railway communities. National and local newspapers, presidential speeches, regulations, and a corpus of interviews with protagonists of the strike (railroad workers and family members) were consulted. The repressive devices applied by Frondizi influenced two processes that would mark the Argentine trade union scene throughout the decade: an incipient trade union bureaucratization and the emergence of flashes of radicalization in the protest.

Palavras-chave : railway workers; unionism; bureaucracy; radicalization; repression; Frondizi.
