| Sumario: | The “contratistas de viña” (vineyard contractors) is animportant figure in the development of Cuyo's viticulture fromthe end of the 19th century to the present day. The particularitiesof the labor relationship established with the landowner ledto the interpretation of his condition as agricultural worker oras entrepreneur/partner, especially in the first decades of the20th century. This ambiguity in the classification of the laboractivity slowed down its regulation. The first bill legislatingthe labor relationship established between the wine worker andthe landowner was passed in Mendoza in 1946 in order tofill the gap created by the “Estatuto del Peón rural” (RuralLaborer's Statute) enacted in 1944. Law 1578, which createdthe Regulations for Vineyard and Fruit Contractors, advancedthe interests of landowners and characterized the contractor asa salaried employee. The paper sets out to analyze, first, thelegislation produced by the province of Mendoza, which in 1946typified the "vineyard contractor" as a worker tout court. Secondly,the paper examines the role that justice played in the construction of this working and salaried identity, as opposed to that oflandowners and rural laborers. In order to achieve these objectives,a variety of sources have been used, among which the press,parliamentary debates and court rulings stand out. |
