| Sumario: | The thesis examines the discourses and institutions that shaped the views of the Puerto Rican government, Puerto Rican government employees and, more specifically, the Puerto Rican Internal Revenue Agents regarding labor relations, leading to the filing in 1975 of a draft law on collective bargaining. Government workers forged contesting identities in response to drastic changes in their work environments and to perceived threats to their status as representatives of the State. Internal Revenue Agents, in turn, were the equivalent of a Treasury Police, who were simultaneously enforcement officers and civil service workers. The paper explores the identities they forged as a group, under the light of the changes in their work. The paper studies the impact of migration from the countryside to the city, the political process and the development of a trade union movement in the government and the Department of Finance where they worked. The paper concludes that these workers negotiated with management and policy-makers at different levels for better working conditions and also their role in public policy, without needing a law to regulate it. Therefore, they did not actively support the proposed regulation, which sought to limit the scope of their role in the work environment. |
