ZAPATA, Ana Belén. Memories of labour conflicts in the 70ʹs: Some issues about History and Memory relationship in the reconstruction of the past. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.20, pp.161-173. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this article we will analize workers's memories about labor conflicts between the years 1973-1976 in Bahía Blanca´s main newspaper. The causes of those conflicts were the claim of workers for salary recomposition and fulfillment of the collective labour agreement signed between the company and workers´s representants in 1975. The struggle was weakened from the actions of the company and from one national context in which the repression and terror became a commonplace. In July 1976, after the coup of state on march 24th, were found on the outskirts of Bahia Blanca, the lifeless bodies of two of the leading trade unionists of La Nueva Provincia newspaper; who were killed because of their union membership and active participation in this conflict. The analysis in this paper will be structured from: a first section, which introduces some concepts about the relationship between History and Memory, a second section which discusses the problems of historical reconstruction around the multitude of memories, and a third one, in which delves into the question of temporality, into the conflicts and disputes over the interpretation of the past and the silences and obliteration as attempts to cancel the memory.
