Finnish General Workers' Union
The Finnish General Workers' Union ( fi, Suomen Työläisliitto) was a general union representing workers in Finland. The union was established in 1930 by the Social Democratic Party, to accept workers who had resigned from the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ), unhappy at its communist leadership. The SAJ was banned later in the year, and the General Workers' Union became the core of the new Finnish Federation of Trade Unions (SAK), although many of its members transferred to newly-formed, industry-specific unions. By 1955, the union had 10,713 members.{{cite book , title=Directory of Labor Organizations, Europe , date=1955 , publisher=United States Bureau of Labor Affairs , pages=8.7–8.16 It remained affiliated to the SAK when many unions left to form a new Finnish Trade Union Federation, which in 1969 merged with the SAK to form the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions.

General Union
A general union is a trade union (called ''labor union'' in American English) which represents workers from all industries and companies, rather than just one organisation or a particular sector, as in a craft union or industrial union. A general union differs from a union federation or trades council in that its members are individuals, not unions. The creation of general unions, from the early nineteenth century in the United Kingdom and somewhat later elsewhere, occurred around the same time as efforts began to unionise workers in new industries, in particular those where employment could be irregular. Proponents of general unions claim that their broader range of members allows more opportunities for solidarity action and better coordination in general strikes and the like. Detractors claim that the broader remit means they tend to be more bureaucratic and respond less effectively to events in a single industry. In the United Kingdom, general unions include the GMB and th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Finnish Federation Of Trade Unions
The Finnish Federation of Trade Unions ( fi, Suomen Ammattiyhdistysten Keskusliitto, SAK) was a national trade union centre in Finland. The federation was established in 1930, after the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ) was banned. Its initial affiliates were unions which supported the Social Democratic Party of Finland, whereas the SAJ had been dominated by communists.

In 1969, the SAK merged with the new SAJ, to form the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions. Affiliates Presidents :1930: Edvard Huttunen :1937: Eero A.

Central Organisation Of Finnish Trade Unions
The Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions, usually referred to by the acronym SAK ( fi, Suomen Ammattiliittojen Keskusjärjestö; sv, Finlands Fackförbunds Centralorganisation, FFC) is the largest trade union confederation in Finland. Its member organisations have a total of more than one million members, which makes up about one fifth of the country's population. History The other two Finnish trade unions confederations are the Finnish Confederation of Salaried Employees (STTK) and the Confederation of Unions for Academic Professionals in Finland (AKAVA). The most important negotiating partner of SAK is the ''Elinkeinoelämän keskusliitto/Finlands Näringsliv'' (the Confederation of Finnish Industries, EK), which represents the majority of Finnish employers. The current SAK was founded in 1969 as the Finnish Federation of Trade Unions (SAK 1930–1969), controlled by SKDL and TPSL, and the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ 1960–1969), controlled by SDP, settled t ...

General And Speciality Workers' Union
The General and Speciality Workers' Union ( fi, Yleis- ja erikoisalojen ammattiliitto, YEA) was a general union in Finland. The union was founded in 1960, as a split from the Finnish Food Workers' Union (SEL). At the time, the SEL was led by communists, as was the Finnish Federation of Trade Unions (SAK), to which it was affiliated. Supporters of the Social Democratic Party formed the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ), and SEL members who wished to affiliate to the SAJ formed the "General and Speciality Workers' Union". As the union's name suggested, it was a general union and accepted workers from other industries who were not eligible to join another SAJ-affiliated union, including chemical workers.{{cite journal , title=Proceedings , journal=Proceedings of the 5th World Congress of the International Federation of Petroleum and Chemical Workers , date=1966 , page=112 This enabled it to grow rapidly, and by 1968, the union had 12,000 members.

General Unions
A general officer is an officer of high rank in the armies, and in some nations' air forces, space forces, and marines or naval infantry. In some usages the term "general officer" refers to a rank above colonel."general, adj. and n.". OED Online. March 2021. Oxford University Press. https://www.oed.com/view/Entry/77489?rskey=dCKrg4&result=1 (accessed May 11, 2021) The term ''general'' is used in two ways: as the generic title for all grades of general officer and as a specific rank. It originates in the 16th century, as a shortening of '' captain general'', which rank was taken from Middle French ''capitaine général''. The adjective ''general'' had been affixed to officer designations since the late medieval period to indicate relative superiority or an extended jurisdiction. Today, the title of ''general'' is known in some countries as a four-star rank. However, different countries use different systems of stars or other insignia for senior ranks. It has a NATO ...

Trade Unions In Finland
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 products an ...
