KOPPMANN, Walter L. Labor struggle, dynamic of strikes and forms of worker organization in the wood industry of Buenos Aires city, 1916‐1921. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.47-69. ISSN 1514-6871.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the different forms of labor struggle that the woodworkers unions adopted between 1916, which is approximately the year in which the economic crisis of 1913 in Argentina started to reverse, and 1921, the year in which the general strike and the protest cycle ended. In between those years, several strikes and demonstrations took place in this country. In order to achieve this objective, we are going to make a brief review of the different struggles that occurred during this period of time. We are going to try to determine the way in which the production process influenced the morphology of the union body. In addition we are going to analyze the central role of the left currents in the making of the working class. The particular study of the wood industry allowed us to perceive some phenomena that usually go unnoticed. In the last part of this article we are going to investigate the importance of the jewish community in this industry. Last, we will summarize some conclusions.
