Abstract

In a politically adverse context, it is often assumed that traditional unions have no interest in organizing precari-ous workers. However, these are not organizations that act mechanically. Drawing on a comparative perspec-tive, this article proposes that it is crucial to analyze the identity cleavages that define union strategies, but also the tensions that these open up. Through a comparison of mineworker federations in Chile and Peru, the article explains how a “class” orientation allows the inclusion of precarious workers, although opening conflicts regard-ing the organization’s priorities.
