Textile And Knitting Workers' Union
The Textile and Knitting Workers' Union ( fi, Kutoma- ja Neuletyöväen Liito, KNL) was a trade union representing workers in the textile industry in Finland. The union was founded in 1952, when the Weaving Industry Union merged with a smaller union. Like its predecessors, it affiliated to the Finnish Federation of Trade Unions (SAK), but in 1960 became a founding affiliate of the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ) split. This led its membership to decline, from more than 10,000, to just 5,851 by 1969. In 1969, the SAK and the SAJ merged to form the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions. In response, the following year, the Textile and Knitting Workers' Union merged with the Textile Workers' Union, and the Union of Clothing Workers The Union of Clothing Workers ( fi, Suomen Vaatetustyöläisten liitto, SVL) was a trade union representing workers in the clothes industry in Finland.

Trade Union
A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch. I such as attaining better wages and benefits (such as holiday, health care, and retirement), improving working conditions, improving safety standards, establishing complaint procedures, developing rules governing status of employees (rules governing promotions, just-cause conditions for termination) and protecting the integrity of their trade through the increased bargaining power wielded by solidarity among workers. Trade unions typically fund their head office and legal team functions through regularly imposed fees called ''union dues''. The delegate staff of the trade union representation in the workforce are usually made up of workplace volunteers who are often appointed by members in democratic elections. The trade union, through an elected leadership and bargaining committee, ... [...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. Over time, the communists became prominent in the SAK, and this led a group of unions to split away in 1960 and form a new Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ). 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.

Union Of Clothing Workers
The Union of Clothing Workers ( fi, Suomen Vaatetustyöläisten liitto, SVL) was a trade union representing workers in the clothes industry in Finland. The first Finnish Clothing Workers' Union was banned in 1930. The Workers' Union gained responsibility for organising clothing workers, setting up branches for clothing workers. This approach proved unsuccessful, with only 898 workers holding membership of the branches by the start of 1938. As a result, on 1 January 1938, the Union of Clothing Workers was founded, and the Workers' Union's clothing branches transferred into it. The new union affiliated to the Finnish Federation of Trade Unions (SAK) and grew rapidly. It proved particularly successful at recruiting women, and workers in the rapidly expanding clothing factories. By 1945, it had 6,103 members, of whom 89.8% were women. In 1960, it became a founding affiliate of the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ) In 1969, the SAK and the SAJ merged to form the Central Orga ...

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 a ...
