Abstract

This article explores the political behaviour of Chilean landowners as a widespread pro-union agricultural movement emerged during the right-wing administration of Arturo Alessandri (1934-38) and the Radical Front government of Pedro Aguirre (1938-41). Both administrations were influenced by Chilean landowners and deployed strategies against the unionisation of peasants. The research presented here shows how resistance to agricultural unionism operated externally through the State apparatus (legislative projects, decrees and round table dialogues), and internally through socio-agricultural relationships, repression, and modernisation of labour contracts derived from Labour Code requirements.
