“…Chile's return to democracy saw further setbacks for organised labour. After the democratisation process began in 1990, two major parties, the Socialists and the Christian Democrats, started breaking their ties with labour unions, focusing instead on maintaining the neoliberal model (Drake, 2003). Even though the Socialist Party partially maintained its influence on the traditional mineworkers' federation, it forced directly employed workers to accept a corporatist arrangement in exchange for abandoning their militant tradition (Hernández et al, 2014).…”

Despite the poor working conditions, between 2003 and 2007 Chilean miners organised the longest and largest strikes in the country since the 1980s, obtaining one of the most important recent victories of the Latin American labour movement. This article uses this experience to illustrate the importance of the links between precarious workers and political activists. Drawing on 18 months of extensive fieldwork conducted at several mining sites in Chile, the article contends that the analysis of precarious workers' organisations needs to consider workers' access to different organisational resources, and the role that political parties' militants play in such access, particularly in the Global South.

“…As with minimum wages, things are not so simple in Latin America. First, unions are a heterogeneous factor throughout the region, ranging from Argentina's strong unions to Chile's low-coverage unions (Drake 2003). Furthermore, union membership in Latin America is often, but not always, higher among those in the Brazil, 1995vs.…”

“…The position assumed by the federation coincided with the coalition policy established by the DC and the PS, which took over control of the social demands, in particular for economic distribution, on the pretext of ensuring democratic stability (Drake, 2003). The predominance of the DC in the government coalition and the influence of its more liberal wing prevented progress on more ambitious labor reforms that would have allowed for greater distancing from the legacy of commodification of labor relations established in the Labor Plan.…”

An analysis of the course of relations between union movements and left parties in four Southern Cone countries shows that, while in Uruguay and Argentina the progressive parties were able to maintain alliances with union actors and empower them, in Brazil and Chile left parties and unions experienced conflicts that hindered the formation of alliances. In the four countries studied, two variables had a strong influence on the possibilities for forming and maintaining a coalition among unions and parties: the electoral strategy of the leftist party and union fragmentation. Un análisis del curso de las relaciones entre los movimientos sindicales y los partidos de izquierda en cuatro países del Cono Sur muestra que, mientras que en Uruguay y Argentina los partidos progresistas pudieron mantener alianzas con los actores sindicales y empoderarlos, en Brasil y Chile los partidos y sindicatos izquierdistas experimentaron conflictos que obstaculizaron la formación de alianzas. En los casos de los cuatro países analizados, dos variables influyeron fuertemente las posibilidades de formar y mantener una coalición entre sindicatos y partidos: la estrategia electoral de los partidos de izquierda y la fragmentación sindical.
