Sumario:In this article we propose to analyze the impact of the pandemic on seasonal agricultural work, taking Mendoza (Argentina) as a case study. In the province, territorial mobility for seasonal work in agriculture is a practice that has persisted since the mid-20th century. In order to achieve this objective, we proceeded to reconstruct the process of establishing the ASPO (“Social isolation, Preventive and Obligatorio”) and later DISPO (“Social distance, Preventive and Obligatorio”) in the activity, considering the protocols and policies implemented; as well as its effects on the heterogeneous set of seasonal workers. The methodology adopted is based on a triangulation of sources including the follow-up of the problem in the media and social networks, the review of primary and secondary sources of research, the participation in conversation of specialists focused on these topics, and depth interviews. The results point out that even when migrant workers became 'indispensable / essential' during the pandemic, the policies implemented so far have been aimed at ensuring the availability of labor without considering the historical precariousness in working conditions.
