This article presents the conclusions of a study conducted at two companies recovered through the formation of labor cooperatives in the Greater Rosario region in Santa Fé Province, Argentina. The objective was to compare the process of struggle to revive the sources of work of a group of working women or for the wives of the workers at each company studied, conforming to new models of technical and organizational operation (division of labor, forms of communication, management style, decision making processes etc). The hypotheses of labor for each case studied was the predominance of a “particular logic of operation”, which derived from processes of change in the labor identities and gender of the actors involved. The research methodology was qualitative, based on the triangulation of data in the analysis process. In-depth interviews were conducted with women workers at the companies studied as well as non-participative observations at the factories.
