description This paper outlines the development process of the capitalist viticulture in Mendoza. Using different primary and secondary sources, this study determines the composition of the viticulture labor and its quantitative and qualitative evolution. The introduction of up to date technology forced the training of manual labor with visible improvements in the workers' pay checks. This market became more complex through time showing multiple hierarchies in every rank of the work force, from peasants to wine makers. Several workers ascended the social ladder becoming managers due to diverse strategies traced through our various sources. Finally the workers' labor conditions indicate the vulnerability in which they were involved and their helplessness due to the lack of unions that could represent them

La introducción de equipamiento técnico de avanzada obligó a la capacitación de la mano de obra con mejoras en los ingresos de los asalariados. Este mercado se complejizó con el tiempo y aparecieron múltiples jerarquí­as, desde el peón al enólogo o director técnico de las bodegas, pasando por los contratistas de viñas o los capataces. Muchos trabajadores ascendieron socialmente y se convirtieron en empresarios, en itinerarios que respondieron a diversas estrategias rastreables en las fuentes. Finalmente, las condiciones laborales que tuvieron los trabajadores muestran la precariedad en la que se desenvolví­an y la indefensión en la que estaban inmersos por la ausencia de colectivos gremiales que asumieran la representación del trabajo frente al capital 2009-09-04 2022-03-16T17:59:09Z 2022-03-16T17:59:09Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a13 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/26361 spa https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a13/852 https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a13/853 application/pdf text/html Centro de Historia Argentina y Americana Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 No. 18 (2009) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 Núm. 18 (2009) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 N.º 18 (2009) 1515-5994
