General Confederation Of Labour Of Luxembourg
The General Confederation of Labour of Luxembourg (CGT-L) french: Confédération générale du travail luxembourgeoise is a trade union federation in Luxembourg. The federation was established in 1927, on the initiative of unions representing railway and metal workers in Luxembourg. By the 1970s, its largest affiliate was the Luxembourg Workers' Union, which attempted to form a single general union for all workers. It became the Independent Luxembourg Trade Union Confederation (OGBL), but with many unions deciding not to merge into it, the CGT-L remained in existence. The CGT-L operates as a loose umbrella organisation, and shares much of its leadership with the OGBL. As the largest and most representative trade union federation in the country, it is affiliated to the European Trade Union Confederation, and the International Trade Union Confederation. The number of affiliates of the CGT-L has declined, as a series of mergers have taken place. In 2020, one of its two affiliates ...

Trade Union Federation
A national trade union center (or national center or central) is a federation or confederation of trade unions in a country. Nearly every country in the world has a national trade union center, and many have more than one. In some regions, such as the Nordic countries, different centers exist on a sectoral basis, for example for blue collar workers and professionals. Among the larger national centers in the world are the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations and the Change to Win Federation in the USA; the Canadian Labour Congress; the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Britain; the Irish Congress of Trade Unions; the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU); the Congress of South African Trade Unions; the Dutch FNV; the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish LO; the German DGB; the French CGT and CFDT; the Indian BMS, INTUC, AITUC and HMS; the Italian CISL, CGIL and UIL; the Spanish CCOO, CNT, CGT and USO; the Czech ČMKOS; the Japan Trade Union Confe ...

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] |
Independent Luxembourg Trade Union Confederation
The Independent Luxembourg Trade Union Confederation (Luxembourgish: ''Onofhängege Gewerkschaftsbond Lëtzebuerg'', German: ''Unabhängiger Gewerkschaftsbund Luxemburg''), also OGBL or OGB-L, is a Luxembourgish general union.

The new union affiliated to the General Confederation of Labour of Luxembourg and, given its size, it has since been the dominant force in the federation. The union grew over time, absorbing the Association of Professional Drivers, and the Federation of Printing Workers of Luxembourg. It is open to all workers and pensioners, and is based in Esch-Alzette. It was divided into 15 professional ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
