The largest international organization of free trade-unions the International Confederation
of Free Trade-Unions, (ICFTU) includes affiliated unions in 94 countries. The ICFTU
was formed in 1949, when it seceded from the World Federation of Trade Unions in protest
of the alleged communist orientation of that body. ICFTU headquarters are in Brussels.
Includes reports of organizational minutes of the 2nd and 3rd meetings of the International
Confederation of Free Trade Unions, Council for Organising Campaign in France, held
in Paris and Brussels, 1952-1953.
The reports deal with the following: union courses for miners, transport workers,
and metal workers; special trade-union courses for Polish miners; and future education
programs in France. Also reports of the International Metalworkers Federation, Railwaymen's
Federation, National Federation of Workers in the Electricity and Gas Industries,
Federation of Building and Wood Workers, Federation of Textile Workers of France and
