Relaciones entre el Estado y los sindicatos y sus consecuencias en torno al régimen de obras sociales en Argentina: un análisis histórico-político / The relationship between the State and workers’ unions and its impacts in the union-based health coverage regime in Argentina: an historical and political analysis

El presente trabajo se propone realizar una reconstrucción histórico-política, cuyo período transita desde fines del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, que indague sobre la relación entre el Estado argentino y los sindicatos y sus repercusiones en torno a la constitución, consolidación y potencial ocaso del sistema de prestación de atención médica a los trabajadores administrado por los sindicatos, denominado en Argentina como obras sociales. Asimismo, sostendrá la hipótesis de que el financiamiento obtenido por parte de las cúpulas sindicales a través de las obras sociales ha sido un instrumento eficaz para sostener un modelo sindical centralizado que garantizó, en ciertos casos, gobernabilidad no solo a las cúpulas sino también a los diferentes gobiernos nacionales.

This paper aims at developing a political and historical reconstruction of the period spanning from the late nineteenth century to the present. In particular, this work investigates the relationship between the Argentine State and workers’ unions and the impacts of that relationship in the establishment, consolidation and potential decline of the health coverage system administrated by unions, in Argentina called obras sociales. This work will also support the hypothesis that the financing obtained by union leaders through this health coverage system has been an efficient instrument for sustaining a centralized union model and has in some cases guaranteed the continued governance of both union leaders and different national governments.
