Keywords: Workers, Departamento del Trabajo, Secretaría de Trabajo y Previsión, peronism, labor conflict

Abstract

The article offers an exploration of the role played by the Departamento de Trabajo of Buenos Aires province and the Secretaría de Trabajo y Previsión in the resolution of a series of conflicts involving employers and workers in Olavarría between 1937 and 1949. Through the analysis of administrative files and news published in the local press, the paper considers the capacities of the officials of these departments to intervene in labor issues and reconstructs the workers experience of the State in a period of deep social and political transformations. Through a case study and sources underexploited by historiography, this research aims to shed new light on the changes and continuities that Peronism produced in the life of Argentine workers.
