The union was founded in 1949, and affiliated to the German Trade Union Confederation. Its membership steadily declined, and by 1997, it had 183,349 members.

German Trade Union Confederation
The German Trade Union Confederation (german: Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund; DGB) is an umbrella organisation (sometimes known as a national trade union center) for eight German trade unions, in total representing more than 6 million people (31 December 2011). It was founded in Munich, 12 October 1949. The DGB coordinates joint demands and activities within the German trade union movement. It represents the member unions in contact with the government authorities, the political parties and the employers' organisations. However, the umbrella organisation is not directly involved in collective bargaining and does not conclude collective labour agreements. Union delegates elect committees for 9 districts, 66 regions and the federal centre. The organisation holds a federal congress every four years. This assembly sets the framework for trade union policies and elects five Federal Executives. Together with the presidents of the member unions they constitute the DGB's executive co ...

IG Metall
IG Metall (; IGM; German: ''Industriegewerkschaft Metall'', "Industrial Union of Metalworkers'") is the dominant metalworkers' union in Germany, making it the country's largest union as well as Europe's largest industrial union. Analysts of German labor relations consider it a major trend-setter in national bargaining. IG Metall and ver.di together account for around 15 percent of the German workforce, and other sectors tend to broadly follow their agreements. History The name IG Metall refers to the union's metalworkers roots dating back to the start of unions in imperial Germany in the 1890s, though this formal organization was founded post-war in 1949. Wikipedia DE Over the years the union has taken on representation in industries beyond mining of minerals to include manufacturing and industrial production, machinists, printing industry, which includes modern automobile manufacturing and steel production as part of its blue-collar root, but also includes more white-coll ...

Karl Buschmann
Karl Buschmann (12 August 1914 – 16 February 1988) was a German trade union leader. Born in Brake, near Bielefeld, Buschmann left school at the age of fourteen and undertook an apprenticeship as a bricklayer, also joining a trade union. He later worked in the metal and textile industries. In 1945, he was one of the first to organise trade unions in the textile trade, working full-time as an organiser from 1947. The union became part of the Textile and Clothing Union (GTB), and in 1951, he was elected to its executive committee. Buschmann was elected as president of the union in 1963, and became known for his focus on the likely effects of globalisation on social and working conditions worldwide. This led him to prominence in the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers' Federation The International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers' Federation (ITGLWF) was a global union federation. In 2005 it had 217 member organizations in 110 countries, representing a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Berthold Keller
Berthold Keller (8 February 1927 – 28 June 2012) was a German trade union leader. Born in Konstanz, Keller completed an apprenticeship as a tailor, and found work in a local clothing factory. In 1944, he was called up to the army, but was taken as a prisoner-of-war in France in March 1945, and was only released in 1949. Keller returned to tailoring, an in 1952 became involved in the Textile and Clothing Union (GTB), working full-time for the union from 1955. He spent ten years working as executive secretary to the union's president, Karl Buschmann, then in 1972 was elected to the union's executive in his own right. In 1978, Buschmann stood down, and Keller easily won the election to succeed him. As leader of the union, Keller was known as a pragmatist, avoiding industrial action. The textile industry was in rapid decline, 200,000 jobs being lost from 1978 to 1990, and union membership also decreased. Despite this, he became prominent internationally, and was elected as ...

Trade Unions Established In 1949
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 produc ...
