Much of the existing literature on state-labour relations has focused predominantly on the relationship between organised labour and the executive branch of the state, and has concentrated particularly on moments of crisis, such as strikes and subsequent state repression. Not surprisingly, the main conclusions have been that the state acted primarily as a disciplinary force in its relationship to labour and that the executive branch had almost exclusive initiative in mediating social conflict.9 One work to have challenged these presumptions is Eduardo Zimmermann’s 1996 study of Argentine politicians’ first efforts to pass labour and social legislation.10 Nevertheless, although legislators presented many bills, few were passed. Zimmermann’s study therefore, despite making a convincing argument that the Argentine political elites did not exclusively opt for repression as their response to new social problems, does not alter significantly the perception that the legislature, in the end, largely failed in confronting the social question.
