Abstract
After the first Ni Una Menos mobilization in 2015, the dialogues between the labor movement and the women's movement that had been woven since the post-dictatorship years deepened and gave rise to new feminist and union agendas. The repercussions between the two movements can be seen in the choice of the strike as a tool of struggle for the women's movement and in the emergence of new inter-union women's organizations.
The present research is part of the field of studies that address the intersection between feminism and trade unionism in recent history. The available studies, which have multiplied in recent years in the heat of the New Feminist Wave, tend to focus on the way in which the women's movement permeated trade union organizations at the level of their leadership structures. This research, on the other hand, proposes to focus on the union activism of women shop stewards and activists in the workplace, taking into account the links they establish with the women's and/or gender spaces that exist in the unions and with the union leadership.
In this framework, the aim of the thesis is to reflect on the influence of the feminist movement on the labor movement today (2020-2021), focusing on the workplace in relation to union organization. To this end, we propose to study the perceptions and practices of female union shop stewards and activists in industry and services regarding: a- the inequalities suffered by women in relation to work, the exercise of their reproductive rights in the workplace and gender violence; b- the gender policies carried out by union organizations; and c- the participation of shop stewards and activists in their workplaces and union organizations. In order to reflect the heterogeneity of the object under investigation, we selected four labor sectors: graphic, chemical, aeronautical and railway.
Likewise, we inquired about the construction of a "worker feminism" in the workplace and in the union, a process of organization and struggle of women workers within Chilean socialism between the years 1905 and 1908, historically analyzed by Elizabeth Quay Hutchison (2014). Taking up this idea of worker feminism, this research crosses the dimensions of gender, class and political/union activism from the analysis of the practices and perceptions of female shop stewards and activists addressing the workplace, in its connection with the union and the women's movement.
Our hypothesis proposes that the women's movement (and its particular expression since 2015) has modified the perceptions and practices of female shop stewards and activists, generating a revaluation of political participation, by way of the particular approach to gender issues and issues included in the feminist movement.
To achieve the proposed objective, we rely on a multiple case study with a qualitative research design that integrates semi-structured in-depth interviews with union shop stewards and activists, and secondary sources, such as reports, union bulletins, journalistic articles and publications on the official websites and social networks of trade union organizations.
The thesis seeks to be a contribution in order to expand studies on the feminist activism of shop stewards and activists in different labor sectors and trade union organizations, considering the question of their links with the women's movement and, in turn, to promote new research questions.
