Empresas recuperadas por los trabajadores: una década de lucha por la dignidad en Argentina

Abstract

Adverse economic conditions or a structural crisis may be the ideal breeding ground for the implementation of various alternative experiences. The fact is that the Worker-Recovered Enterprises (WRE) have gone further. After a decade since its birth inside the neo-liberal model crisis of the early twenty-first century in Argentine, they have become a international reality that has managed to stay and expand within a global capitalist system through worker self-management and based on a set of values and different guiding principles, where work stands as the key element. This text is intended as a brief approach to the WRE concept based on the experience in Latin America, particularly in Argentina, where the movement has had its greatest development.
