    En junio de 2010, un día después de la aplicación de un recorte salarial en Metro de Madrid, las/os trabajadoras/es fueron a una huelga total. Paralizaron el tráfico subterráneo durante 48 horas y colapsaron el tráfico en el centro de la capital. Con esta investigación intento mostrar cómo las/os trabajadoras/es llegaron a paralizar el Metro de Madrid. El análisis se basa en dos tipos de datos: las circulares sindicales que se publicaron en el momento de los eventos y entrevistas semi-directivas realizadas a posteriori con representantes sindicales y trabajadoras/es. A partir de estos datos identifico las secuencias de interacción entre las/os trabajadoras/es, los sindicatos, la dirección de la empresa y el gobierno regional que precedieron a la huelga total. Los resultados muestran que, en lugar de una respuesta supuestamente natural ante un grave ataque, esta huelga total debería de hecho considerarse como un efecto de composición derivado de las interacciones encadenadas entre actores múltiples e interdependientes

    In June 2010, one day after austerity measures had been applied to Madrid Underground, the underground workers went on a total strike. They paralyzed the underground traffic during 48 hours and caused major traffic gridlocks in the city center. The aim of the present research is to understand how this total strike came about. The analysis rests on two types of data: union circular letters produced at the time of the events and semi-directive interviews conducted a posteriori with union representatives and ordinary workers. Together, these data allow one to reconstruct the sequences of interaction between workers, unions, the company management, and the regional government, which preceded the total strike. The findings show that instead of a seemingly natural response to a harsh attack, the total strike should in fact be regarded as a composition effect resulting from nested interactions between multiple and interdependent players.
