Abstract
Institutionalist and corporatist interpretations of the business unionism strategy adopted by some unions in Argentina when faced with the 1990s market reforms are inadequate in that they consider unions as interest groups, play down the context of capitalist restructuring, and fail to account for the novelty of the strategy. These limitations can be overcome by reviving some ideas from Marxist analysis, such as the classist nature of unions and their participation in the historical dynamic of a capitalist social formation.
Interpretaciones institucionalistas y corporativistas de la estrategia del sindicalismo empresarial adoptada por algunos sindicatos en Argentina cuando se enfrentaron a las reformas del mercado en los años 1990 son inadecuadas en que consideran a los sindicatos como grupos de interés, minimizan el contexto de la reestructuración capitalista, y no logran dar cuenta de la novedad de la estrategia. Estas limitaciones pueden ser superadas mediante la reactivación de algunas ideas de análisis marxista, tales como el carácter clasista de los sindicatos y su participación en la dinámica histórica de una formación social capitalista.
