It is a key period to understand the communist attempts to apply the strategy of the “Popular Front” in the perimeters of the trade union organization, which allows us to think about its real conditions of realization and the contexts in which such a political enterprise was deployed.

There is a bibliography that referred to this communist presence in the trade union movement, but whitout these specific temporary and thematic cuts.

En este artículo nos proponemos un examen de la relación del Partido Comunista argentino con la Confederación General del Trabajo (CGT) entre 1937 y 1943, es decir, los años previos y de primer desarrollo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Es un período clave para entender los intentos comunistas de aplicación de la estrategia del “Frente Popular” en los perímetros de la organización gremial, lo cual permite pensar acerca de sus verdaderas condiciones de realización y de los contextos en los que se desplegó semejante empresa política. Este estudio no sólo pretende aportar un mayor conocimiento de la actuación del comunismo en el área gremial sino también a iluminar la relación que esta fuerza tuvo con las otras corrientes del movimiento obrero con las que intentaba coalicionarse o confrontar, como el sindicalismo y el socialismo. Hubo una bibliografía que refirió a esta presencia comunista en el movimiento sindical, aunque en escasa medida sobre estos recortes temporales y temáticos específicos. Aún es necesario profundizar el trabajo de reconstrucción de este proceso, en especial, de las caracterizaciones y posiciones del PC en función de su objetivo de alcanzar la dirección del movimiento obrero.
