The aim of the subject is to study History in a context defined by presentism. For this reason, it aims to show the historical genesis of the current situation of Labor Relations. The general meaning of this subject is to distance oneself from the immediate past and gain perspective, learn about other societies and values to relativize those of the present society. Historicize the concepts and categories with which university knowledge operates. The subject of Social History and Labor Relations is oriented towards demonstrating the discursive nature of some basic concepts or ideas that operate in the university knowledge they receive. The historical narrative serves to understand what values and what historical vision of the social are behind the concepts with which the profession will carry out: the idea of employment, labor law, labor relations, trade unions and business organizations as systems of representation. From the point of view of understanding and assimilation, it is about transmitting the validity of history as a method of social analysis and as a field of study. The aim is for students to become aware of the specific features of the notion of historical time, that Labor Relations are subject to a changing process in which there are no fixed guidelines but rather a relativity, which reveals how the current balance has been reached and assess the possibilities for change it contains.
