MANNOCCHI, Cintia. Huelga de maestros en 1912: En contra del Estado educador y del docente servil. Hist. educ. anu. [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.1, pp.43-64. ISSN 2313-9277.

In august of 1912, the Liga Nacional de Maestros called the primary teachers of Buenos Aires city to a strike in claim of the punctual payment of the salaries. The aim of the article will not be to realize a mere descriptive review of the movement. On the contrary the article analyzes the reasons of the beginning of the strike and the reasons of his failure. We ask ourselves what led some educators to taking an exceptional decision opposite to a very habitual lag in the payment. We want to understand why that happened in a favorable moment for the educational unions, when the government had presented many favorable projects for the interests of the teachers. The central hypothesis to develop is that the strikes represent a battle stimulated by the most combative wing of the union against the leaders of the public instruction. The explanation of the fast failure of the strike will lead us to reconstructing the social identity of the teacher and his class position, and to understand, in addition, the lack of solidarity of most of the teachers towards the strikers.
