The “Luz y Fuerza” Union of the city of Olavarría in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, was created in 1949.
These unions bring together electrical energy workers in Argentina. These unions are united in the Argentine Federation of Light and Power Workers, founded in 1948 with a Peronist ideology.
It is part of one of the most important labor movements in the country.
Some of the historical leaders included Juan José Taccone, Agustín Tosco and Oscar Smith (detained and disappeared during the dictatorship in 1977).

Interesting fact
This medal from the Sindicato de Luz y Fuerza (Electricity and Power Union) in Olavarria, Argentina, is particularly interesting due to its historical significance. It was minted during the period of Perón's presidency, which had a profound impact on labor unions and worker rights in Argentina. The medal likely represents the union's efforts to promote workers' interests and solidarity during this time. Its design may incorporate symbols related to electricity or industry, reflecting the nature of the union's work. The fact that it is in near-mint condition suggests it may have been kept as a treasured possession by a union member, offering a tangible connection to this important period in Argentine labor history.
