Unión General de Trabajadores de Navarra. La consolidación del sindicato (1978-1983) [Unión General de Trabajadores of Navarra. The consolidation of the union (1978-1983)]

Abstract

This article completes the study on the beginnings of the UGT in Navarra after its re-founding in 1974. This second part focuses on the period 1978-1983, when the definitive confrontation between the rupturist and reformist currents that lived together in the union took place, culminating in the expulsion of the former and the consolidation of the latter. Likewise, this work approaches the relations of the Navarrese Ugetistas with the UGT of Euskadi as well as with the confederal UGT. In the same way, the relationship of Navarra with the rest of the Basque provinces and the triumph of the isolationist positions that facilitated the subsequent creation of the Socialist Party of Navarra are discussed.
