'''''Agrupación de Trabajadores Latinoamericanos Sindicalistas''''' or '''ATLAS''' was a Latin American [[trade union]] confederation in the early 1950s.

== History ==
During the first presidency of General [[Juan Perón]], "[[Labor attache|workers attache]]s" were stationed at Argentina's Latin American embassies encouraging the creation of [[Peronist]] trade unions. After years of preparation, the Argentinian [[General Confederation of Labour (Argentina)|CGT]] called a conference of trade unions in [[Asunción]], Paraguay in February 1952. This conference decided to set up a preparatory committee to create a new inter-American trade union confederation. With the help of the Mexican trade union [[Regional Confederation of Mexican Workers|CROM]] a general congress was held in Mexico City which launched the new Agrupación de Trabajadores Latinoamericanos Sindicalistas.<ref>[[A. Percy Coldrick|Coldrick, A. Percy]] and [[Philip James Jones|Jones, Philip]]. ''The international directory of the trade union movement'' New York : Facts on File, [1978] p.1029</ref>

The CGT had been barred from addressing the founding conference of [[Confederación Interamericana de Trabajadores]] (forerunner of [[ORIT]]), due to their criticism of U.S. trade union policies. The leader of the CROM delegation, [[Luis Napoleón Morones]], had protested this move at the CIT conference. Moreover, CGT was barred from joining ORIT once it was formed.<ref name="rubio">[[Rubio, José Luis]]. ''Las internacionales obreras en América''. [[Madrid]]: 1971. p. 85-86</ref>

Headquartered in [[Buenos Aires]], ATLAS began an intense campaign across Latin America. Its [[propaganda]] emphasized that it wished to "humanize capitalism",<ref name="Coldrick and Jones p.1029">Coldrick and Jones p.1029</ref> and provide a "third way" in the Latin American labour movement (different from the pro-U.S. [[ORIT]] and the pro-communist [[Confederación de los Trabajadores de América Latina|CTAL]]), arguing that Latin American trade unions should build unity without 'external' interference.<ref name="rubio"/> [[Vincente Lombardo Toledano]], leader of CTAL, on the other hand sought unity in action between CTAL and ATLAS (which like CTAL took up [[anti-imperialism|anti-imperialist]] positions), a move which was rejected by ATLAS.<ref name="rubio"/>

In 1954 the [[Venezuela]]n pro-[[Marcos Pérez Jiménez|Pérez]] union federation [[Confederación Nacional de Trabajadores (1952)|CNT]] joined ATLAS.<ref name="alexander">[[Alexander, Robert J.]] ''Rómulo Betancourt and the transformation of Venezuela''. [[New Brunswick]], cop. 1982. p. 338</ref> ATLAS also financed the [[Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (Colombia)|Confederación Nacional de Trabajadores]] of [[Colombia]], that favored [[Rojas Pinilla]].<ref name="Coldrick and Jones p.1029"/>

ATLAS disappeared as a functioning organization in 1955, with the [[Revolución Libertadora|overthrow of Juan Domingo Perón]] in Argentina. The CGT and ATLAS offices where stormed by the junta forces in November, and closed down.<ref name="rubio"/> In 1973, with Peron's return to power, the general secretary of the CGT announced the revival of ATLAS, but the attempt foundered.<ref>Coldrick and Jones pp.1029-30</ref>
