The Cerrillos-Maipú industrial cordon (‘ring’) was one of the first initiatives of the Chilean workers designed to build an organization that allowed them to develop a coordinated strategy to deal with local obstacles that originated within the changing process of the Unidad Popular. This paper analyzes the elements that made that organization possible, and examines how, during its existence, it became a space for the workers’ social activities, and their own and independent political debates, with a clear popular orientation.
