The study of the labour conflicts Andalusia’s in the years sixty and seventy and in the Transition of the dictatorship to democracy has corroborated its approval to the Spanish and European model of industrial conflict. Following the introduction presents the theoretical approach Andalusian labour disputes, his evolution until the Civil War so much in rural and urban areas as mining, and closes with the labour conflicts in the Franco regime and the Transition to democracy and conclusions.
