LA IMAGEN DE LA UNIDAD: CNT Y UGT
ENTRE LA REVOLUCIÓN Y LA GUERRA (1934-1939)

Exposición

The new century has revealed that the barriers between Socialist economies and the Free World were more porous than expected (Dobson; Cain; Segreto) and that enterprises and businessmen played an important part in East-West interaction (Autio-Sarasmo and Miklossy; Eloranta and Ojala; Jensen-Eriksen). Nevertheless, a serious analysis of trade is clearly lacking from Cold War historiography.

John Tully will give a talk on his 2014 book, Silvertown – The Lost Story of a Strike that Shook London and Helped Launch the Modern Labour Movement on Tuesday 10 February at the New International Bookshop (basement of Trades Hall, 54 Victoria St, Carlton, 6:45pm for 7pm start).

1873 schlossen sich mehrere Sektionen des Grütlivereins mit Arbeitervereinen und Gewerkschaften in Olten zum sogenannten Alten Schweizerischen Arbeiterbund zusammen. Der Arbeiterbund verfügte mit der "Tagwacht" über eine eigene Arbeiterzeitung. Nach einer kurzen Blüte zerbrach der Arbeiterbund 1880 an den inneren Gegensätzen. Der letzte Kongress wurde zwischen dem 6. und 8. November 1880 in Olten abgehalten. Man beschloss die Auflösung des Arbeiterbundes und die Gründung des Schweizerischen Gewerkschaftsbundes.
