Abstract

In this article we will describe the main characteristics of the labor relations system and how the cooperative sector is inserted, particularly in terms of Salary Councils, that is, the main collective bargaining mechanism established in the country as of 1943 and which requires to the capital-work binomial to participate in the salary negotiation with the State. One of the premises that we will be handling from the conceptual point of view is that this tripartite negotiation has its explanation and origin in the framework of normal conflicts between employers (capital companies) and workers (organized via unions). Such a design was not intended for the social and solidarity economy sector in such a way that it would be difficult to develop its specific identity if it had to choose to participate together with the Business Chambers or the Unions. This leads us to analyze the possibilities of a quadripartite route in which the identity of the sector is expressed through a participation strategy more in line with an alternative business format.
