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.

National Trade Union Centre
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.

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 Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging, FNV; the LO, The Danish Confederation of Trade Unions, Danish, Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions, Norwegian, and Swedish Trade Union Confederation, Swedish LO; the German German Confederation of Trade Unions ...

Finnish Wood Workers' Union
The Wood Workers' Union ( fi, Puutyöväen liitto, SPL) was a trade union representing wood industry workers in Finland. The Wood Workers' Union was founded in 1925, but was banned in 1930. Later that year, supporters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) founded a new Finnish Wood Workers' Union, which affiliated to the Finnish Federation of Trade Unions (SAK). By 1958, the SDP supporters had been marginalised in the SAK, leading the Wood Workers to disaffiliate. In 1960, it became a founding affiliate of the Finnish Trade Union Federation (SAJ), while the SAK established a new rival, the Wood Workers' Federation (PTTL). In 1961, the union renamed itself as the Finnish Wood Industry Workers' Union. The SAK and SAJ merged in 1969, forming the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions, which both the SPL and the PTTL joined. The PTTL finally rejoined the SPL in 1973, which renamed itself as the "Wood Workers' Union". By 1992, the union had 37,150 members. The following yea ...

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 ...
