Syna
Syna is a general union in Switzerland. The union was founded in 1998, when the Christian Wood and Construction Workers' Association, the Christian Union for Industry, Trade and Commerce and the Swiss Graphic Trade Union merged with the National Association of Free Swiss Employees. The first three unions were in the Catholic tradition, and the last in the liberal tradition. In 1999, the Association of Christian National Personnel of Public Enterprises in Switzerland also merged in. The union affiliated to the Christian National Union Confederation (CNG), and was by far its largest member. On formation, it had 80,355 members, with 39% working in construction, 31% in the metal industry, 7% in woodworking, 5% in printing, and the remainder in a wide variety of industries. In 2002, the CNG merged into Travail.Suisse Travail.Suisse is a trade union federation in Switzerland.

Christian National Union Confederation
The Christian National Union Confederation (german: Christlichnationaler Gewerkschaftsbund der Schweiz, CNG; french: Confédération des syndicats chrétiens de Suisse) was a trade union federation bringing together Christian democratic trade unions in Switzerland. History The federation was founded in 1907, as the Christian Social Union Federation of Switzerland, with about 4,500 members. After almost collapsing, it began co-operating with the Swiss Trade Union Federation during World War I, but withdrew this in 1918 due to it opposition to the possibility of a general strike. It spread into Romandy from 1916, and Ticino from 1918. In 1921, it renamed itself as the CNG, and grew steadily, reaching 36,000 members by 1941, 84,000 in 1961, and peaking at 116,000 in 1990. While the federation was open to all Christians, the vast majority of members were Catholics, with some Protestants instead forming the Swiss Association of Protestant Workers. During the 1990s, the federation' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
National Association Of Free Swiss Employees
The National Association of Free Swiss Employees (german: Landesverband Freier Schweizer Arbeitnehmer, LFSA; french: Union suisse des syndicats autonomes) was a general union representing workers in Switzerland. The union was established on 11 May 1919 by workers who identified with the liberal movement. Initially based in St Gallen, it relocated to Zürich in 1941. This move led it to gain members, reaching 10,000 in 1943, and 20,000 in 1974. In 1950, it led the foundation of the World Union of Liberal Trade Union Organizations. Coldrick, A. Percy and Jones, Philip. ''The international directory of the trade union movement'' New York : Facts on File, 978p.233 The union was much smaller than the Swiss Trade Union Federation (SGB), and was promoted as an alternative to it by some employers. It was a party to several major collective agreements, along with the SGB. Membership peaked at 23,000 in 1983, and then began to fall. By 1997, it had 17,015 members, of whom 17% worked i ...

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] |

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 rank sc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trade Unions Established In 1998
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 and ...
