While Public Works can be viewed as associations and their inclusion within the sector solidarity economy no longer a debatable issue because of the particular development of these organizations, specifically because of its close relationship with the unions and the obligation of membership, which is why cases can be considered hybrids, given their essential role in provision of health services for large segments of the population, clear lack of profit and the current process of deregulation that will define its future and final status.
solidarity and mutualism in the early trade unions and communities.
union Social Work (OSS) are the most remote in the joint management of the first trade associations. Older workers' organizations, such as Buenos Aires Typographical Society dating back to 1857, privileging the needs of the sector especially with regard to improved working conditions, these entities also activating mechanisms to raise short-term funds to meet the needs of workers who suffer job loss or be imprisoned for their union activity, such as raffles, dances, fundraising or ventured into businesses like the cigarette factory of the General Union of Workers. The sense of solidarity is also seen in the form of loans from the Central to various unions and between unions loans, as contained in the minute books and copying of notes. 
Mass migration overseas of late nineteenth century altered the conformation of the proletarian cadres, workers strengthened the institution of the European Union as the body's own employees as opposed to the "organs of bourgeois rule, including political parties, and also brought mutuals and friendly societies at the level of local authorities, who put the emphasis on health coverage for overcome the deficiencies of the Argentine hospital, overwhelmed by population growth and the absence of the project outweighed the situation, so it was natural that such structures were closely related to the new unions, which included a large number of contributors to that source . The ideology of solidarity and collectivism power these organizations and common denominators and affinities defined a parallel and integrated action and mutual union. Hospital workers in the rail model.
Railway Union (UF) was the first major union to develop mutual action since 1919 managing its own Pension Fund (Law 10,650), four years later would also create the Home Railway (Law 11,173), an additional granting loans for the acquisition or construction. The hallmark of this standard is to set a levy of contributions from partners on the part of employers to train its derivation back to the guild, substantially changing the mode of collecting the first phase of unionism, as irregular as deficient in collecting contributions.
The important role of the UF in the whole of unionism also arises from the fact that their representatives were the majority in the National Association of the CGT was formed in September 1930. Later in 1935, the Joint Railway, built by the UF and the union of the machinists The fraternity agreed to the installation of a hospital for its members, which was inaugurated in 1940 under the name of Railway Hospital (would close its doors in 1999); subsequently also enables outpatient facility for emergencies in Rosario, through agreements with the Italian Hospital in that city, whereas surgery and hospitalization were in charge of HF in Buenos Aires and through agreements with private clinics pulmonary cases are referred to Córdoba while managing its own entity. Social Work Influence of Unions in Government.
The military leadership of the coup took place in June of 1943 he ventured into areas that hitherto were not considered major by the dominant sectors, the National Department inefficient Labour (established in 1907) was replaced by the Ministry of Labour and Welfare (STP) in November of that year, and is in charge of Colonel Juan Domingo Peron, who quickly joined his ideas the focus of historical gremialistas Social Work, that developed after contact with these, especially the Confederation of Employees of Commerce and the UF, popular support for the reactionary regime required, these associations accompanied without complex between 1943 and 1945 the development of the management of Colonel Peron.
The most prominent of the period in this field was the creation of the Social Service Commission (Decree 30655/44), charged with "propel the implementation of social services in the establishment of any branch of human activity which provide paid work" and recognized as the founding act of Social Work, the benefits to be provided through such services were: free health care, pharmaceutical care at cost, provision of food items, clothing, and essential for home use at cost, the company should provide such services "at least", but also considered the possibility that it was mutual or cooperative organization which replaced the company. Decree 23852 of October 1945 organized by professional associations of workers, created to meet the health care needs for sectors such as the Police, the Armed Forces and the Railway (unlike mutual funds, these organizations get their funding from a major state contribution in addition contributions from their beneficiaries), allowed the unions to begin to develop projects and services destined for its members and the independence and autonomy in the management of resources made possible an impressive growth and the economy definitely strengthened union, putting unions in an unprecedented position as it relates not only to the dynamics Traditional but with the new instance of gravitating participation in defining national policies.
OS Expansion of health welfare system.
In June 1946, Peron became president of the nation, encouraging since the expansion of social work scheme, however, the adoption of social insurance as a hegemonic strategy of protecting the health of the population only be consolidated with the fall of Perón. As you rightly said Angel Jankilevich: " is important to note, by distortions has been the subject, that under the first two presidents Peron, the model of Social Work is not the main source of financing the health system, nor had the characteristics that distinguished him from 1970. By contrast, the entire health system and social security lay in their own nation state and it was funded with general revenues [1] . " The same author continues then ... " In fact, compulsory social security organized by industry with a strong focus on national union leaders founded in 1970 and was developed mainly by the successive military administrations who ruled the country until 1983, ironically with the banned Peronist [2] "
The decades of 60s and 70s were the expansion of the system of Social Work, as a result of full employment policies, the rise of trade unionism as a political expression of the working class and the effect of Law 18,610 of 1,970, which gave them a legal framework. The authorities need to agree with unions allowed them to get many advantages, including abundant smooth and funding to be turned, to some extent on their health care affiliates to obtain a quite satisfactory level of services to the workforce as employees and their primary family, constituting, in fact, a national insurance group fragmented union administration. From the standpoint of the number of entities, the Public Works Union (OSS) always accounted for a clear majority of the total (between 70% and 80%). From the standpoint of the number of beneficiaries, the importance of OSS has grown rapidly as a result of the new concept applied: in the early 70's and covering about 6 million beneficiaries, equivalent to 53% of total membership.
