Towards the end of the past decade, social protests in Argentina started to gain strength and become more dynamic in response to the crisis that ensued from the neoliberal policies that were predominant in said country during the 1990's. In such framework, workers' groups started to take over companies who were at risk of shutting down, thus organizing themselves to manage and operate said companies under a self-rule scheme. This paper reviews the labor market characteristics as well as the traditions and resources that enabled workers to undertake and advance such kind of actions, through an outline of various courses of action that provided intelligibility to the situation and events being reviewed.
