This paper analyze labor insertion of agricultural workers in the Uco Valley, Mendoza. We assume that agricultural labor market characteristics determine labor insertions generating occupational social practices which arises in dispositions, layouts and strategies of these workers. These workers are characterized by his insertion in precarious and/or unstable jobs, by getting low and discontinuous incomes and by the frequent social vulnerability of the households they belongs to. This article describes labor relations as a social field in which Uco Valley's agricultural workers participate. Then, we analyze some elements associated to socialization at work, a relevant aspect to understand social relationships that underlies the constitution of agricultural labor market and dispositions of agricultural workers. Next, we describe and analyze some elements that condition labor insertion forming agricultural worker's labor strategies. Finally, we examined household influence in labor insertion of their members.

El objetivo de este artí­culo es analizar la inserción laboral de los trabajadores agrí­colas asalariados en el Valle de Uco, provincia de Mendoza. Partimos de entender que las caracterí­sticas del mercado de trabajo agrí­cola condicionan las inserciones laborales generando prácticas sociales ocupacionales que se expresan en disposiciones, orientaciones y estrategias de estos trabajadores. Estos trabajadores se caracterizan por una inserción laboral precaria y/o inestable y la percepción de ingresos insuficientes y discontinuos, a lo que se suman las frecuentes condiciones de vulnerabilidad social de sus hogares de pertenencia. El artí­culo contiene una descripción de la esfera laboral en tanto campo social en que se desempeñan los trabajadores agrí­colas en el Valle de Uco. Luego analizamos algunos elementos vinculados a la socialización en el trabajo, aspecto importante para comprender las relaciones sociales que fundamentan la constitución del mercado de trabajo agrí­cola y la construcción de las "disposiciones" de los trabajadores. En el siguiente punto describimos y analizamos algunos elementos que orientan la inserción laboral de los trabajadores agrí­colas conformando sus estrategias laborales. Finalmente, analizamos la mediación del hogar en la inserción laboral de los miembros.
