Del procedimiento sumario a los tribunales laborales. El tiempo de la justicia en los conflictos de trabajo en la Argentina en la primera mitad del siglo XX

When Argentina enacted Law 9688 on Occupational Accidents, a new judicial procedure called “summary” was introduced to adjudicate cases related to the application of the new law. Although the intention was to speed up trials, the reality was quite different: the number of trials increased, showing the limits of ordinary justice. This article analyses the years following the law, highlighting the obstacles faced by workers, the emergence of quasi-judicial bodies and the rise of proposals for the creation of labour courts.
