Sumario:By examining the prolonged strike carried out by Iquique dockworkers during 1923, this paper discusses the traditional association between the propensity to strike of the dockworker communities and their supposed social isolation. Instead, our hypothesis propose that this propensity obeyed to the intrinsic tension on the labor structure formed after the repeal of the nineteenth century guilds, whose particular knot fell to the nomination of the gangs, confronting unionized workers with intermediaries for the exclusive ownership of the same attribution. In agreement, the conclusions denote the way in which dock working communities suffer labor transitions, emphasizing the historical constitution of their protest and strike behavior.
