NEIMAN, Guillermo; QUARANTA, Germán  e  BLANCO, Mariela. Types of workers' recruitment and labor relations in the grape harvest  at the province of San Juan, Argentina. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.21, pp.05-20. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article analyzes the case of the labor market for harvesting tasks in the production of low quality grapes for wine making in the Sarmiento department at the province of San Juan. The main concern is about the relationship established between the types of labor contracts and the presence of labor conflicts in the site of production at the level of the work organization, the size and characteristics of the workday, and the level as well remuneration systems. It is assumed that these circumstances will put pressure on everyday working relationships and will determine different responses from employers, workers, and labor contractors as well. The analysis shows that the conflict will intensify at certain times and under certain conditions, causing workday interruptions, layoffs, resistances, disciplining measures, among other tensions taking place at the working relationship itself.
