| description | The Nicaraguan labor movement during the period 1970, to the present despite political situation has played an important role in the history of national. This paper aims to recount this movement in recent times. During the research period the labor movement taking advantage of structural opportunities has led strikes, armed actions, alliances, negotiations in order to make their presence felt on the national political scene. One of the characteristics of this social movement is that their collective action consolidates in periods of social, political and economic crisis. To achieve social and political rights: freedom of association, social security, working hours, among others, is one of the great contributions of of syndicalism to the Nicaraguan contemporary history. With the electoral defeat of the FSLN in 1990, the opportunity structures changed, and thus the repertoires of confrontation. In this new scenario alliances, negotiations and strikes occurred as well as a weakening of the trade union movement due to the structural adjustment policies of that period. Thus, innovative expressions of unionism are given: Confederation of self-employed, and the Women s Movement of the maquilas, important in the recent history of syndicalism, thereby presenting new forms of collective action in a new context of national reality.Key words: Labor movement, Popular Sandinista Revolution, Women s Movement of the maquilas, Confederation of self-employed. |

El sindicalismo nicaragüense durante el período de 1970 hasta la actualidad, cruzando por diversos regímenes, ha jugado un papel relevante en la historia nacional y este trabajo pretende hacer un recuento de este movimiento en los últimos tiempos. Durante el periodo en estudio, el movimiento sindical aprovechando las oportunidades estructurales ha echando mano de repertorios tales como huelgas, acciones amadas, alianzas, negociaciones con el fin de hacer sentir su presencia en el escenario político nacional. Una de las características de este movimiento social es que su acción colectiva se consolida en momentos de crisis sociales, políticas y económicas. La conquista de los derechos sociales y políticos: libertad sindical, seguro social, jornada salarial, entre otros es uno de las grandes aportes del sindicalismo a la historia contemporánea nicaragüense. Con la derrota electoral del FSLN en 1990, la estructuras de oportunidades cambian, y con ello los repertorios de confrontación. En este nuevo escenario se producen alianzas, negociaciones y huelgas como también un debilitamiento del movimiento sindical ante las políticas de ajuste estructural de la época. En estos últimos años se dan expresiones novedosas de sindicalismo: Confederación de trabajadores por cuenta propia y el Movimiento de Mujeres de las maquilas, importantes en la historia reciente del sindicalismo, presentando con ello nuevas formas de acción colectiva en un nuevo contexto de la realidad nacional.Palabras claves: Movimiento sindical, Revolución Popular Sandinista, Movimiento de mujeres de la maquila, Confederación de trabajadores por cuenta propia. 2016-06-01 2022-03-17T19:19:26Z 2022-03-17T19:19:26Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistashumanidadescj.unan.edu.ni/index.php/Humanismo/article/view/113 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/54483 spa https://revistashumanidadescj.unan.edu.ni/index.php/Humanismo/article/view/113/108 https://revistashumanidadescj.unan.edu.ni/index.php/Humanismo/article/view/113/700 application/pdf text/html Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua, Managua.
