Biographical History

Founded October 1945 during the International Trade Union Congress in Paris; the delegates, including representatives of the American Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and the Soviet trade unions, agreed to set up a new world federation replacing the old International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) and the Red International of Labour Unions (PROFINTERN, 1920-1934), as result of the desire for unity, peace and progress after the Second World War; the development of the cold war and the increasing communist influence in the Executive Committee of the WFTU resulted from 1948 in the departure of the noncommunist organizations, in order to found their own organization in 1949, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU); the state dominated East European trade unions came to control the WFTU, especially since the Soviet trade unions constituted one-half of the membership; other members are from many countries in Asia and Latin America; the French Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) and, until 1978, the Italian Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro (CGIL) are the only significant West European member unions; had its secretariat in Paris 1945-1951, in Vienna 1951-1956 and since 1956 in Prague; publishes monthly World Trade Union Movement, and weekly Flashes from the Trade Unions.

The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) was founded at a world labor conference in London, England in 1945. Its stated goal was the development of better understanding and joint programs among the national unions of various countries. The WFTU soon came under the control of affiliated communist unions. Communist domination of the WFTU resulted in the disaffiliation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1949. The CIO then joined with other labor organizations opposed to the politics of the WFTU to form the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions.
