The Gain and Retain: Support of Urban Workers



                                                                    Juan Peron

      - How did Juan Peron gain and retain the support of urban workers?

                   As a leader, he was aware that the support of labor would be important to his political power. He became labor secretary and increased the wages for workers. When the military imprisoned Peron in 1945, angry workers pressured the government to release him, and they also helped him win the election in 1946. Labor did not enjoy great freedoms under Person, but they did receive great benefits and a sense of having a voice in the government.
