The Textile Federation strike was one of the most important strikes in the private sector during the APRA government. It took place in September 1986 in a context of economic reactivation but with wage ceilings that limited benefits for unionized workers. The strike lasted 45 days and mobilized more than 30,000 textile workers. This labor conflict was part of a cycle of strong labor conflicts that emerged in 1986, just one year after the truncated labor reforms of Carlos Blancas.
