description Labor outsourcing as a business strategy that tends to increase flexibility and the precarization of the workforce, as well as weaken trade unions, has become worse since the mid-1970s. This has been the case not only in Argentina, but in Latin America and the world at large, with a strong impact since the 1990s. This article analyzes the comparative expansion of outsourcing since the subcontracting of ex-workers, taking into account two case studies in the steelmaking industry in Argentina: Cooperar 7 de Mayo en Acindar Villa Constitución and CIMET en Siderar Ensenada. Based on an interdisciplinary social anthropology, political science and political economy approach, this article reflects on the origins, trajectories, structural conditionings, and projections of these contracting businesses.

La tercerización laboral como estrategia empresarial tendiente a una creciente flexibilización, precarización de la fuerza de trabajo y debilitamiento de las organizaciones sindicales se ha profundizado desde mediados de la década de 1970 hasta la actualidad, no solo en Argentina sino en el conjunto de América Latina y a escala global, con un fuerte avance particularmente desde la década de 1990. El presente artículo analiza comparativamente la expansión de la tercerización a partir de la subcontratación de empresas de ex trabajadores, tomando dos estudios de caso en la industria siderúrgica argentina: Cooperar 7 de Mayo en Acindar Villa Constitución y CIMET en Siderar Ensenada. Partiendo de un abordaje interdisciplinar desde la antropología social, la ciencia política y la economía política, se reflexiona sobre los orígenes, trayectorias, condicionamientos estructurales y proyecciones de estas empresas contratistas. A terceirização de mão de obra como estratégia de negócios tendendo a uma crescente flexibilização, precarização da força de trabalho e enfraquecimento das organizações sindicais se aprofundou desde meados da década de 1970 até o presente, não apenas na Argentina, mas na América Latina como um todo e a escala global, com um forte avanço particularmente desde a década de 1990. Este artigo analisa comparativamente a expansão da terceirização a partir da subcontratação de empresas de ex-trabalhadores, tomando dois estudos de caso na indústria siderúrgica argentina: Cooperar 7 de Mayo em Acindar Villa Constitución e CIMET em Siderar Ensenada. Partindo de uma abordagem interdisciplinar da antropologia social, da ciência política e da economia política, se reflete sobre as origens, trajetórias, restrições estruturais e projeções dessas empresas contratantes.
