The Workers' Party (Partido de los Trabajadores) was founded in 1983, and it was related in its begginings to the Argentine Trotskyist party named "Partido Obrero" or PO (Worker Party).

[Editor's note: in Spanish the words Trabajador and Obrero do have similar meaning but not exactly the same one. Both could be translated into English as "Worker". However Trabajador has a more general meaning like "a person who works", while Obrero could be translated as "blue collar worker", a person who works in a factory or something like that.]
