Saúl Ubaldini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saúl Edolver Ubaldini (b. Buenos Aires, December 29, 1936 - d. Buenos Aires, November 20, 2006) was an Argentine labor leader and parliamentarian for the Peronist party.

He was the Secretary-General of the small union of beer-industry workers. During the Proceso dictatorship, he led the "Brasil" fraction of the CGT, which showed a harder line against the military than its "CGT Azopardo" counterpart.

When democracy returned, he launched 13 general strikes against radical Raúl Alfonsín's government.

However, CGT's combativeness subsided once Peronism was back in power. Later, he was elected twice as Peronist deputy for the Buenos Aires Province.

He died of lung cancer, aged 69.
