For the good of the Nation military Management of state-owned companies, practices of integration of the labor force ... The case of a state shipyard, Rio Santiago Shipyard (1973-1976)

Historiography and social science in general have analyzed the role of the military forces as key central actors in the Argentine political scene. However, its specific actions within state and military managment companies and the concurrent development of labor relations have had little attention. This paper poses an aproach to this issue by addressing the relationships between managment and labor organization and struggle in the case study of Astilleros Rio Santiago during the last phase of Import Substitution Industrialization. This brief paper aims to analyze the complex relationship between two social processes in 1974-1976.
