KABAT, Marina. The evolution of collective labor agreements in the leather industries in Argentina (1954 to present). Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.493-509. ISSN 1514-6871.

We examine the evolution of collective labor agreements in the two most important sectors within the leather industry: tanneries and shoe factories, from 1954 until today. We focus on the composition of wages (particularly in the presence or absence of payment associated with productivity), the rules related to the tasks performed by the workers and labor conditions which are associated with flexibility (the fragmentation of holidays, engagement clauses, etc.). We hope to contribute to the development of knowledge about Argentine labor institutions and provide a historical perspective on labor flexibility, to account for the specificities of the different segments of the working class. This case study allows us, in turn, to take a first look at various rounds collective bargaining, so far little studied, and at the laws that regulated them.

Palabras clave : Collective agreement; Tanning industry; Shoes; Labor flexibility.
