Condiciones de trabajo, formación de clases y organización sindical: los sindicatos de tipógrafos y albañiles en Madrid (1888-1923)

Abstract

Working conditions, class formation and union organization: the unions of typographers and building workers in Madrid. (1888-1923)

Capitalist development would slowly change the organizational patterns of Madrid’s masons and typographers, along a differentiating process that began at the turn of the century, when masons associateci themselves in a class union in order to connier more effectively the employers’ drive, whereas typographers remained more in line with the gremialist tradition and contributed less to the radicalization of conflicts.
