La Huelga de los Locos
Date: 1/1/2002Call Number: V 287Format: VHSProducers: Mariana ArrutiCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
En el año 1956, un año después del golpe de Estado que derroca al General Perón, la Federación de Obreros en Construcciones Navales, de tradición anarquista, inicia reclamos por las 6 horas de trabajo debido a las tareas insalubres, invocando el derecho a la cultura y al tiempo libre. Las patronales comienzan a cerrar sus puertas originando un Lock Out patronal.
Los obreros Navales transforman el Lock Out en un huelga, resistiendo durante 14 meses - conocida como la huelga más larga del siglo - en defensa de sus puestos de trabajo.
El conflicto gremial se pierde. La patronal reconoce un sindicato paralelo que no representa los intereses de los trabajadores. La industria naval comienza a declinar y los puertos argentinos prácticamente no construyen ni reparan buques.
Los obreros de la Construcción Naval, sin embargo, recuerdan esta huelga como un hecho histórico y personal, y se siguen reuniendo para conmemorarla, como un hito en la historia de Argentina, que recupera la dignidad y la libertad.
