This article contributes to reconstructing the history of the world of labour in Mendoza. The revision of sources and the systematization of the scattered information available resulted in a deeper insight on the subject and a better understanding of capitalist development based on vitivicultural agroindustry. Articles from Mendoza newspapers have been the main historical sources used to follow these conflicts, and are expected to be widened in future investigations. Currently, social troubles are presented in a context of a period of economic growth and crisis. We start with the crisis of 1890, to conclude with the World War I crisis and the political changes that would come after 1916-1918.
