ROJAS HERRERA, Juan José. Avatars of the workers’ struggle in the neoliberal era:The experience of the Cooperative Society Democratic Workers of the West. Espiral (Guadalaj.) [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.82, pp.213-248.  Epub Jan 17, 2022. ISSN 1665-0565.

This document sets out, in general terms, the process of development of the Cooperative Society of Democratic Workers of the West, from its origins in the Unique Revolutionary Union of Euzkadi Workers at the beginning of the 1930 decade, to the present, in order to highlight the way in which that organism has overcome the challenges that the economic and political context of the country has raised at different times of its historical evolution. It is an experience worth telling because it is full of nuances, of advances and setbacks that force a constant change of strategies such as those that it means moving from one union organization to another cooperative, and finally managing both forms of social participation without losing sight of that the most important, ultimately, is to achieve the direct appropriation of the value generated in the productive process.
