Abstract
The intention of this work is to analyze the scopes and limitations of the neo-institutional approach of the union actor in the contemporary Argentine. This theoretical perspective, on the one hand, has forged concepts that became common in political science: "union base party", "desindicalización supporter", "labor base party", "neo- corporate segmentation" and "unión revitalization". On the other hand, the explanation of the terms is very similar in spite of the fact that they recount to political different processes. For it, the article argues the existence of an explanatory imbalance when the link is approached between institutions and union action. From the neo-institucionalism an emphasis is observed on the possibilities that the institutions has of acting politically on the union organizations and not on the way which the actors influence the institutional frames. This is relevant in a theoretical approach that says to prioritize in its analysis " how the actors think”.
