The emergence of mercantilism in the traditional market of the Middle Ages brought the use of new forms of capital gains extraction, featuring the use of private capital. These new techniques led to profound changes in industrial-handicraft structure of the Middle Ages and Modern. Aspect that was obvious importance in the behavior of their main professional agents. These organized under professional corporations, designed strategies of resistance to the changes. Among them should be noted the impediment of upward social mobility work of its members, and the closure of their offices by their most powerful masters, and soon merchants. all contributed to a process of proletarianization of numerous collective wage earners (mostly impoverished officers and teachers, passed wages) they emerged occur, and those who have called using the term laboring class.
Our interest in these employees of their collective behavior arises because for the defense of their status were organized under supportive attitudes. These, which took place in the sixteenth century, we have identified as the origin of trade unionism. For your exercise were organized in various associations, which were linked to the different stages through which they transited to its conversion into working class instinct union, whose organizational formula were the brotherhoods of medieval clear reminiscence; the pre-association, with the companies born after the French Revolution and the prohibition of industrial corporations; and finally, union, linked to the first recognized associations as such (Trade-Union, syndicat and Friendly Societies). The latter participated in the creation of the AIT, or First International. union transmission that made possible the birth of the first industrial unions, which contributed mightily to a type of evolution called disruptive, or processing without complete break with the social, organizational and moral background.
