Dutch Catholic Union Of Barbers And Hairdressers
The Beauty Union ( nl, Mooi) is a trade union representing workers in the hairdressing, beauty and wellness industries in the Netherlands. The union was founded on 16 October 1932, as the Dutch Catholic Union of Barbers and Hairdressers, also known as "St Cosmas". It affiliated to the Dutch Catholic Trade Union Federation (NKV). It initially had only 179 members, and by 1939 had grown to only 232. It was banned by the Nazi occupiers during World War II, but was reformed in 1945, and then began to grow, membership reaching 1,117 in 1947. In 1975, the union renamed itself as the Hairdressers' Union. While most of the NKV affiliates merged with equivalent unions in the Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions (NVV), its hairdressers were part of the large Industrial Workers' Union NVV, and the Hairdressers' Union preferred to remain independent. In 1980, it transferred to the NKV's successor, the Federation of Dutch Trade Unions (FNV). In 1981, the political scientist Paul Jekkers wa ...

Dutch Confederation Of Trade Unions
The Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions ( nl, Nederlands Verbond van Vakverenigingen, NVV) was a Dutch social-democratic trade union. History The NVV was founded in 1906 as a merger of fifteen smaller unions, as a result of the inability of the previous unions to control the radical elements of the workers movement in the railworkers' strike of 1903. The NVV was led by Henri Polak, who was a prominent member of the socialist Social Democratic Workers' Party. During World War II the NVV was taken over by the German occupiers, its Dutch leader was Henk Woudenberg. Under the German occupation the NVV was transformed into a Nazi union. After the war these influences were purged and the NVV cooperated tightly with the centre left government to create a welfare state based on the principles of corporatism. In the 1970s NVV membership began to decline due to depillarisation. Under the leadership of Wim Kok the NVV attempted to form a federation with the Protestant Christian Nation ...

Trade Unions Established In 1932
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other produc ...
