Resumen
Desde las ciencias sociales del trabajo, resulta un consenso señalar que el avance de la precarización laboral genera un desafío para las organizaciones sindicales tradicionales, por la segmentación que genera en la clase trabajadora, en relación a sus condiciones y demandas de trabajo y por la dificultad de representar a aquellos trabajadores que se encuentran trabajando en condiciones no registradas e informales. En este marco, nuestro trabajo se propone reflexionar sobre las nuevas formas de acción colectiva que establecen los jóvenes trabajadores precarizados, frente a estas limitaciones del sindicalismo tradicional para canalizar sus luchas. Nuestra hipótesis de trabajo es que, ante la falta de acceso a la representación sindical tradicional y a sus mecanismos formales de negociación y de lucha, los precarizados recurren a repertorios de acción alternativos para dar visibilidad a sus luchas e instalar en la arena política sus demandas. Uno de estos repertorios es el activismo artístico, que consiste en la utilización de imágenes, canciones y actuaciones como canal de denuncia y protesta sobre sus problemáticas laborales. Es sobre este repertorio de acción no convencional en el mundo del trabajo donde centramos nuestro análisis, el cual ganó un gran lugar en las recientes movilizaciones de jóvenes precarizados en Argentina. En términos metodológicos cualitativos, realizamos un estudio de caso cualitativo sobre tres organizaciones de jóvenes precarizados argentinos que aplicaron el activismo artístico en sus jornadas de protesta, en el período 2005-2015, buscando comprender su emergencia como nuevo repertorio gremial.
From the social sciences of the labor, it is a consensus to point out that the advance of work precariousness generates a challenge for the traditional trade union organizations, because of the segmentation it generates in the working class, in relation to their conditions and job demands, and for the difficulty in representing those workers who are working in unregistered and informal conditions. In this context, this paper aims to reflect on the new forms of collective action that young precarious workers establish in response to these limitations of traditional trade unionism to channel their struggles. Our hypothesis is that in the absence of access to traditional trade union representation and its formal mechanisms of negotiation and struggle, the precarious workers turn to alternative repertoires of action to give visibility to their struggles and install their demands in the political ground. One of these repertoires is artistic activism, which consists in the use of images, songs and performances as a channel for denouncing and protesting about their labor problems. It is on this unconventional trade union repertoire where we focus our reflection in this paper, which gain a great place in the recent mobilizations of young precarious people in Argentina. In qualitative methodological terms, we conducted a qualitative and comparative case study on three Argentinian organizations of young precarious workers who resorted to artistic activism in their protests, during the period 2005-2015, seeking to understand its emergence as a new trade union repertoire.
