DROLAS, M. Ana. Union strategy and political action: The different experiences of two Argentine unions of the electrical sector. Trab. soc. [online]. 2009, n.12. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article tries to contribute to the interpretation of the union models and the explanation of its strategies and actions. For it compares the attitude and the behavior of two unions of the electrical sector had against a same event that is the privatizadora attack that ahead took the government in the decade of the 90. The hypothesis is that the political tradition, the relation with the political power and the State and the internal mechanisms of participation, obturate or allow arbitrary driving of the leaderships. In this sense, the characteristics that assume each of these dimensions will give life to tendentially more representative unions or, on the contrary, to tendentially bureaucratic ones. This article is part of an ampler investigation than investigates about the construction of representation in the spaces of work and their impacts on the construction of action strategies.

Keywords : Union strategy; Political positions and representation; Participation.
