Work and unión militancy: the role of delegates in drinking wáter supply. A study case in Argentina.

The aim of the paper is to tackle, from a qualitative perspective, the role of delegates in drinking water supply in Gran La Plata (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) that is represented by the Sindicato de Obras Sanitarias de la provincia de Buenos Aires. In the context of a new government, national and local, of Pro Coalition our aim is to analyse the role of delegates in their workplaces attending to the following questions. How are their everyday activities? Which are the main conflicts and how they try to solve them? How are the relationships between workers, delegates and union leaders? We are going to link these questions with two dimensions, the generational relationships and political adscription.
