LEMMI, Soledad. Labor reality, rights and unionism in the horticultural workers of Gran La Plata (Buenos  Aires, Argentina) 1990‐2009. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.139-155. ISSN 1514-6871.

The present article deals with the situation of the rural peons in the Horticultural area, their labor rights and the scope of their fulfillment. In turn, and in direct relation to the above, the role played by the Argentine Union of Rural Workers and Stevedores (UATRE), a guild that groups these workers in the sector under study, their trade union and political actions and the Difficulties that it finds in a complex socio-productive context such as horticultural. This is part of the Marxist theoretical framework, and is combined with a methodology of quantitative-qualitative analysis that explores primary information sources (interviews, newspapers, censuses) and secondary. It is concluded that the characteristics of the salaried workers in question, the production patterns and production, along with the ideology of the union are the elements that explain the union action.

Keywords : Argentina; Horticulturalists; Salaries; Rights; Trade unions.
