Abstract

The article deals with the organization and development of the labor movement in the central sugar factory "Panchito Gómez Toro", formerly "San Isidro", since its foundation in 1932, where the maximum sugar leader Jesús Menéndez Larrondo intervenes. Its workers and members were faithful to the principles of solidarity and unity of this union to this day, allowing them to conquer their rights and demand from the employers the possibility of constantly improving their economic, labor and social living conditions. As vanguards in the struggles of this sector, the workers of "San Isidro" contributed to the July 26 movement of the territory many exponents in which the Commander of the Revolution Víctor Bordón Machado stood out. With the revolutionary triumph on January 1, 1959 and its nationalization on October 21, 1960, where the industry passed into the hands of the workers as social socialist property, they have achieved the distinction of National Vanguards on several occasions, an expression of that roots of struggle. With empirical methods it was possible to evaluate descriptive informative results of the main actions of the San Isidro workers in the middle of the 20th century, they were also useful methods that allowed to deepen through the analysis the results that appeared in the witness documents that appear in the central's records. Finally, the article contributes to the registry of the heritage of local history on the municipal sugar industry and the struggles of its workers for economic and social reasons.
