KOPPMANN, Walter Ludovico. Wood and furniture workers of Buenos Aires city: Labor unrest, trade union structure and political identities, 1900-1905. Av. Cesor [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.21, pp.1-23. ISSN 1514-3899.

The article explores the labor struggle, union workers organization in workplaces and the role played by political left cultures in the wood and furniture industry in Buenos Aires city, during the first years of the XXth century. Running parallel to the urban development connected to the port, wood industry trades expanded. In that regard, tasks and working environments kept changing as well, conditioning different political left experiences. Through an analysis of Union workers’ journals, political press and specialized literature, we will study both organizational differences between skilled and unskilled workers and debates and arguments between different political left sectors (socialists, anarchists, revolutionary syndicalists). Through a deep research on wood workers, we aim to contribute to the knowledge about actions, debates and tensions that encountered this specific industry at the turn of the century.
