History
ETUC: the eldest of its forerunners, the European Regional Organisation of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ERO-ICFTU) was founded in 1950; the Belgian trade union leader Walter Schevenels was its general secretary until his death in 1966; in 1952, following the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the Trade Union Committee of Twenty-One was formed, composed of the national confederations affiliated with the ICFTU and the federations of trade unions in the coal and steel sectors in the ECSC member countries; a year after the signature of the Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957, the ICFTU's European affiliates set up a European Trade Union Secretariat (ETUS), members of which were the trade union confederations of the EEC member states; the ETUS absorbed the Trade Union Committee of Twenty-One; in 1969 the ETUS adopted a new name, the European Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ECFTU) in the European Community, while the ERO-ICFTU was dissolved; in 1973 the ECFTU merged with the Trade Union Committee for the European Free Trade Area (EFTA-TUC) into the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC); the seventeen founding members of the ETUC had all been affiliated with the ICFTU, but soon some Christian organizations affiliated with the World Confederation of Labour (WCL) and some unions without international affiliation also joined the ETUC; at the end of 1994 the ETUC comprised 47 national trade union confederations from 22 European countries; the 15 European Industry Committees, representing separate industrial sectors, were also members; at the end of 1994 nine national trade union confederations from six Central and Eastern European countries had the observer status; the ETUC aspires to represent all European working people and promotes the extension and consolidation of political liberties and democracy, respect for human and trade union rights and the elimination of all forms of discrimination. Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) of the European Recovery Programme (ERP): founded in 1948; changed its name in 1955 to Joint Trade Union Advisory Committee (JTUAC) to the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) and in 1961 to Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); Walter Schevenels was its secretary-general 1949-1966. Trade Union Committee for the European Free Trade Area (EFTA-TUC): a secretariat, founded in 1968 by the ICFTU affiliated trade unions of non-ECC countries in the EFTA, some of which eventually entered the ECC; dissolved when the ETUC was founded in 1973.

HISTORY
HISTORY OF THE EUROPEAN REGIONAL ORGANISATION (ERO) OF THE INTERNATIONAL CONFEDERATION OF FREE TRADE UNIONS (ICFTU)
- World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU)
The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) was founded in Paris October 1945 during the International Trade Union Congress. The delegates, including representatives of the Congress of Industrial Organizations [of the United States] (CIO) and the Soviet trade unions, agreed to set up a new world federation replacing the old International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) and the Red International of Labour Unions (PROFINTERN ), as a result of the desire for unity, peace and progress after the Second World War. The development of the Cold War and the increasing communist influence in the Executive Committee of the WFTU resulted in the walkout in 1948 of the noncommunist organisations, in order to found their new organisation in 1949. The state dominated East European trade unions came to control the WFTU, especially since the Soviet trade unions constituted onehalf of the membership.
- International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU)
The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) was founded in London in 1949. ICFTU's policy in the first two decades of its existence was marked by identification of trade union liberty with Western style democratic values and strict ban on contacts with communist and East European state controlled unions. The ICFTU co-operated closely with the sixteen International Trade Secretariats (ITSs) and grouped its members in regional organisations.
- European Regional Organisation (ERO) of the ICFTU
The European Regional Organisation (ERO) of
the ICFTU was founded in 1950, covering 20 trade unions from 18 Western
European countries and was based in Brussels. General Secretary of the ERO
until his death in 1966 was Walter Schevenels .
In
1952 the Committee of Twenty-One was set up by the ICFTU-affiliated unions in
response to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community
(ECSC) . This Committee was organised on an international basis
both by industry, on the pattern of the International Trade Secretariats
(ITSs), and by linking national trade unions. The objectives of this Committee
were to represent and co-ordinate the interests of union organisations in
member countries of the ECSC.
Another important organisation to be
mentioned is the ERP (European Recovery Programme) Trade Union
Advisory Committee (TUAC ), founded in 1948. The ERO, as part of
the TUAC, was as the largest trade union organisation in Western Europe largely
responsable for the functioning of the TUAC secretariat in Paris. In 1948 or
1949 Walter Schevenels was elected as Secretary General of the TUAC. He
continued in office when TUAC changed name until his death in March 1966. His
successor was G. Dermine . Schevenels and Dermine had
their office in Brussels and there was an intensive correspondence with
Charles Ford , Deputy Secretary of the TUAC, who was
based in Paris. The TUAC dealt extensively with the European
Productivity Agency (EPA) of the Organisation for
European Economic Co-operation (OECC ). In 1955 the Joint
Trade Union Advisory Committee (JTUAC) to the OECC was
founded as successor to the ERP-TUAC. The founding meeting was on 29 March
1955. In this new structure the ERO and the Christian Trade Union International
collaborated.
Towards the end of 1961 the name changed from Joint Trade
Union Advisory Committee (JTUAC) to the Organisation for European Economic
Co-operation (OECC) to Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). After the
signing of the Treaty of Rome and the creation of the European
Economic Community (EEC ) in 1957, representatives of the
ICFTU-affiliated European unions from the EEC member countries met in
Düsseldorf in 1958 to establish the European Trade Union Secretariat
(ETUS) ICFTU - Secrétariat Syndical Européen CISL - Europäisches
Gewerkschaftssekretariat IBFG. This was an independant organisation and the
Committee of Twenty-One was absorbed into it. Its General Secretary was for
many years the Dutchman Harm G. Buiter.
A decade later, the ICFTU
affiliated trade unions in the member countries of the European Free
Trade Area (EFTA ) also formed such a secretariat.
In 1969
the ETUS adopted a new name, a revised set of rules, and a new governing
structure. It became the European Confederation of Free Trade Unions in the
European Community (ECFTU). In that year ERO was dissolved.
- Some biographical notes on Walter Schevenels
Walt(h)er Schevenels, born in 1894, was a Belgian trade union leader and
was, from January 1951, Secretary General of the ERO. He was one of the
founders of the Metalworkers' Federation of Belgium. In 1929 he was appointed
Assistant General Secretary of the IFTU, in 1930 he became General Secretary
and held the position until 1945. In that year he became Assistant General
Secretary of the WFTU in charge of industrial field. Together with the Western
European trade unions he left the WFTU and after the creation of the ICFTU in
1949 he became in January 1951 Secretary General of the ERO and held this
position until his death in 1966.
From 1949 he was also Secretary General
of the Trade Union Advisory Committee of the European Recovery Programme, from
1955 known as the Joint Trade Union Advisory Committee (JTUAC) to the
Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OECC) and from 1961 known as
the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) (see Annex I).
Among his publications
are Forty-Five Years. International Federation of Trade Unions 1901-1945
(Brussels, 1955) and 'European Regional Organisation (ERO), of the ICFTU' in
The European Trade Union Movement within the ICFTU (Brussels, 1964).
HISTORY OF THE EUROPEAN TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION (ETUC) AND PREDECESSORS
European Trade Union Secretariat (ETUS)
As
described above many Western European trade unions from 1950 on were organised
in the ERO, covering 20 trade union centres in 18 countries. In the Fifties the
European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the European Economic Community (EEC)
and Euratom were created and the trade unions in the member countries felt the
need for a separate organisation to communicate with the new European
supranational organs. After the creation of the EEC the ICFTU delegates of the
six EEC member countries therefore met in Düsseldorf in 1957 to found the
European Trade Union Secretariat (ETUS) ICFTU - Secrétariat Syndical Européen
CISL - Europäisches Gewerkschaftssekretariat IBFG whose members were:
-
Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund (DGB), Germany
- Algemeen Belgisch Vakverbond
(ABVV), Belgium
- Nederlands Verbond van Vakverenigingen (NVV), The
Netherlands
- Confederazione Italiana Sindacati Lavoratori (CISL), Italy
- Unione Italiana del Lavoro (UIL), Italy
- Confédération Générale
du Travail du Luxembourg (CGT), Luxembourg
- Confédération Générale du
Travail-Force Ouvrière (CGT-FO), France.
In 1958 the Christian trade
unions, affiliated to the International Federation of Christian
Trade Unions also set up a European organisation of their own,
which was subsequently known as the World Confederation of Labour
- European Organisation (WCL-EO).
European Confederation of Free Trade Unions in the European Community (ECFTU)
In 1969 ETUS changed its name to the European Confederation of Free Trade Unions in the European Community (ECFTU) -Confédération Européenne des Syndicats Libres dans la Communauté - Europäischer Bund der Freien Gewerkschaften in der Gemeinschaft. In the same year the European Regional Organisation (ERO) of the ICFTU was dissolved. The ECFTU then operated from April 1969 until 1973.
European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC)
After the entry of Denmark, Great
Britain and Ireland into the EC in 1973 the ECFTU was transformed into the
European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) -
Confédération Européenne des Syndicats (CES) - Europäischer Gewerkschaftsbund
(EGB). In fact the foundation followed a series of meetings of the ECFTU and
the Trade Union Committee for the European Free Trade Area
(EFTA-TUC) which had existed from 1968 until 1973.
This was a
period of transition in view of the expected enlargement of the EC. A platform
was created to communicate with the trade unions in the European
Free Trade Area countries. The decision to set up a separate Trade
Union Committee was taken at a meeting in London on 1 February 1968 by
representatives from seven national trade union confederations from six
countries. The role of the EFTA-TUC was to serve as a forum for discussion of
the means by which increased trade union co-operation in Europe could take
place.
From 1969 until 1973 an ECFTU/EFTA-TUC Liaison Committee
functioned to maintain contacts between the two European organisations ECFTU
and EFTA-TUC.
With the creation of the ETUC, the Executive Committee of
the EFTA-TUC decided at its meeting of 9 March 1973 to dissolve the
organisation. The seventeen founding organisations of the ETUC were drawn from
fifteen countries and were all affiliated to the ICFTU. Shortly after its First
Congress in Brussels on 8-9 February 1973 a number of requests for affiliation
were received from other national trade union centres, in particular from the
twelve christian national centres which were affiliated to the WCL-EO. In May
1974 these were accepted and the WCL-EO dissolved itself. Also membership was
extended to the communist Italian CGIL.
In the preamble to the ETUC
Constitution the ETUC's major aims were laid down as follows: to represent and
promote the social, economic and cultural interests of workers at the European
level in general and in particular in respect of all European institutions,
including the European Community and the European Free Trade Association and to
safeguard and strengthen democracy in Europe.
- The role of the ETUC in the International Trade Union Movement
At international level the ETUC maintains working
relations with two world-wide trade union confederations: the ICFTU and the
World Confederation of Labour (WCL ). In addition it
maintains relations with two other international trade union organisations,
which were created to deal with particular matters in certain groups of
countries:
the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) and the
Council of Nordic Trade Unions (NFS).
The ETUC has a close relationship
with the ICFTU, whose General Secretary is invited to attend the meetings of
the ETUC and the WCL. When the ETUC was founded, there was a certain fear among
non-European ICFTU members that a separate European trade union organisation
would isolate Europe. Proposals to establish a formal link between the ETUC and
the ICFTU were not successful. The ETUC created Industry Committees to cover
different economic sectors and these were open to all democratic trade unions
within the relevant sector in the EC countries. These Committees were seen by
the ETUC as an essential element in the European structure of trade unionism,
but a major obstacle to their development was their relationship with the
International Trade Secretariats (ITSs). The ITSs, world wide federations of
national unions of a particular trade or industry and related to the ICFTU,
feared a dimunition in their own power and influence. The ETUC expected the
Committees to accept its own policy objectives in the European area. In
addition the ETUC wished the Committees to accept the affiliation of the
christian and communist unions, which did not materialize.
The Industry
Committees in 1985 were:
- European Metalworkers' Federation in the
Community (EMF)
- European Federation of Agricultural Workers' Unions in
the Community (EFA)
- European Regional Organisation of the International
Federation of Commercial, Clerical and Technical Employees (EURO-FIET) -
Postal, Telegraph and Telephone International - European Committee
-
European Committee of Trade Unions in Arts, Massmedia and Entertainment (EGAKU)
- Contact Office of Miners' and Metalworkers' Free Trade Unions in the
European Communities
- European Committee of Food, Catering and Allied
Workers' Unions within the IUF (ECF-IUF)
- European Public Services
Industry Committee (PSI)
- Committee of Transport Workers' Unions in the
European Community
- European Teachers' Trade Union Committee (ETTUC)
- European Federation of Building and Woodworkers in the EC (EFBW).
-European Community (EC)
A
very important task of the ETUC was liaising with and advising of the European
Economic Community and other European organs. Much of this liaison was
conducted within the framework of the Economic and Social Committee (ESC) of
the EC in which the employers' and employees' organisations are represented.
Initially the ICFTU and WCL trade unions made up the union delegation to the
ESC. In 1970 the communist-controlled Confederazione Generale
Italiana del Lavoro (CGIL) and Confédération Générale du
Travail (CGT) joined the delegation when they were included by the
Italian and French governments in their nominations for representatives to the
ESC. In Italy negotiations to achieve trade union unity led to improved
relations between the two non-communist unions and the CGIL, whereas in France
the ICFTU affiliated CGT-FO refused any co-operation with the CGT. The CGIL was
affiliated to the ETUC but the CGT was not. The ICFTU and WCL unions decided to
admit the CGIL representatives to the separate meetings of the trade union side
of the ESC but the CGT was kept out.
The European Centre for
the Development of Vocational Training , known by its French
acronym CEDEFOP, was established by the European Communities in answer to the
challenge of technological, economic and social change which was being
exacerbated by the acknowledged weaknesses of the European educational system.
On 10 February 1975 the Council of Ministers of the EC decided to establish
this Centre with head offices in Berlin.
The main tasks of the Centre are
to assist in promoting and developing vocational training and continued
education at Community level, to be a centre for the exchange of information,
to act as a forum for promoting joint approaches to problems of vocational
training and to establish a selective documentation service.
The work of
the Centre is controlled by a Management Board, comprising representatives of
Government, employers' and employees' organisations and the Commission of the
EC. The ETUC is also represented in this Management Board. The
European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions
with headquarters in Dublin was established on 26 May 1975 by
decision of the Council of Ministers of the EC. Article 2.1. of the statute
defines the aim of the Foundation as 'to contribute to the planning and
establishment of better living and working conditions through action designed
to increase and disseminate knowledge likely to assist this development'.
Article 2.3 determines that the Foundation 'shall deal more specifically with
the following issues: men at work, organisation of work and particularly job
design, problems peculiar to certain categories of workers, long-term aspects
of the improvement of the environment, distribution of human activities in
space and in time'.
Important parts of the Foundation's activities are to
carry out research and to organise seminars and colloquiums.
The work of
the Foundation is controlled by an Administrative Board, comprising
representatives of Government, employers' and employees' organisations and the
Commission of the EC. The ETUC is also represented on this Administrative
Board.
ORGANISATION
The
statutory institutions of the ETUC are: the Congress, the Executive Committee,
the Secretariat, the Finance and General Purposes Committee and the Audit
Committee. Presidents, General Secretaries, Deputy General Secretaries and
Secretaries of ETUS, ECFTU and ETUC are listed further on.
Congress
The ETUC Congress is the supreme body of the ETUC and must meet at least every
three years. The Congress is composed of representatives of the national trade
union centres and the Industry Committees. Representatives of the Industry
Committees have the right to vote, except on constitutional and financial
matters. The numbers of representatives of the national centres are distributed
as follows: 4 seats per country and 1 additional seat for each organisation for
each 500.000 members. The Congress has various tasks: it expresses its opinion
on activities in the previous years on the basis of the reports, decides on its
future policy in the form of Action Programmes and Resolutions, elects the
members of the Executive Committee, the President, the General Secretary, the
Deputy General Secretary and the Auditors, and decides amendments to the
Constitution.
Executive Committee
In 1985 the ETUC Executive
Committee comprised 41 members. It is composed of one representative from each
affiliated national centre. Countries with more than 2 affiliates may send a
maximum of 2 representatives. Affiliates of more than 5.000.000 members are
entitled to 3 members. According to the wishes of the Women's Committee of the
ETUC, two women are elected directly as members of the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee meets at least six times a year. The recognised
Industry Committees may participate in the meetings in a consultative way.
Except at Congress, they have not the right to vote. The meetings of the
Executive Committee can be attended by observers from ICFTU, WCL, TUAC, NFS,
European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) , ETUC Youth
Group, ETUC Women's Committee.
The Finance and General Purposes
Committee, established by the Executive Committee, meets directly before the
meetings of the Executive Committee. Its aims are to allow preparatory
discussion of the main points on the agenda and to make recommendations.
The Executive Committee decides on the measures which are to be taken to
implement Resolutions and Action Programmes adopted by the Congress, decides on
the representation of the ETUC vis-à-vis the institutions and the employers'
organisations, decides proposals to be adopted by the ETUC and appoints the
Secretariat's Secretaries (in addition to the General Secretary and Deputy
General Secretary, elected by the Congress). Secretariat
The secretariat
has its headquarters in Brussels. It comprises some thirty persons, including
those responsible for policy work.
The Secetariat submits proposals to
the Executive Committee, carries out all tasks entrusted to it by the Congress
and the Executive Committee and provides the liaison between the Executive
Committee and the Industry Committees.
To support the activities of the
Secretariat, a number of Committees and Working Parties for groups of
individuals and particular fields were set up by the Executive Committee. The
following Standing Committees and Working Parties were operating in the
eighties:
- Women's Committee
- Youth Group
- Committee on
Migrant Workers
- Committee on the Democratisation of the Economy and of
Institutions
- Energy Co-ordination Committee
- Economic Committee
- Working Party on Working Conditions
- Working Party on
Inter-Regional Trade Union Councils
- Working Party on Consumers
-
Working Party on Industrial Research and Development
- Working Party on
Regional Policy
- Working Party on the Environment and Living Standards
- Working Party on Safety and Health at Work
- Working Party on
Agriculture
ARCHIVES
Acquisition of the archives
The archives of
the ETUC were transferred to the International Institute of Social History
(IISH) in Amsterdam in 1991. Later some supplements were received.
The
(J)TUAC files, listed below, were partly deposited in 1971.
Arrangement of the ERO-ICFTU archives
The
archives of the ERO should be clearly distinguished from the archives of the
European Trade Union Secretariat (ETUS), which start in 1958. The ETUS had its
affiliated organisations in the EEC member states while ERO also included trade
unions from countries not belonging to the EEC. But the contacts between both
organisations were intensive and after its dissolution in 1969, the archives of
the ERO were kept by the ECFTU and the ETUC, the legal successors of the ETUS.
Following this line the archives of the ERO on the one hand and those of the
ETUS, the ECFTU and the ETUC at the other are included in one inventory.
A consequence of this decision is that this inventory includes correspondence
of the ERO with the ETUS (inv. nos. 142-143) and that in some ETUS files the
reverse correspondence with the ERO will be found.
A problem was that the
files and the documents were encoded but that the list of codes seems missing
until today and a reconstruction of it proved impossible. So a new division of
heads had to be devised for this inventory. It was attempted to make a division
which was as close as possible to the division for the archives of the ETUC.
Some files of the ERO archives contain documents older than the ERO
itself. In most cases these files were made up by Walter Schevenels, the
General Secretary of the ERO, and later on integrated in the ERO archives.
The archives of the ERO also include archives of the Joint Trade Union
Advisory Committee (JTUAC) to the Organisation for European Economic
Co-operation (OECC), from 1961 called Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to
the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Walter
Schevenels was also General Secretary of the (J)TUAC. The files regarding the
(J)TUAC, including a lot of correspondence by Schevenels in his function as
General Secretary of this Committee, were fully integrated in the code system
of the ERO archives and were kept at that place. The other part of Schevenels'
documents on the (J)TUAC, received by the IISH in 1971, were now added to the
files. The (J)TUAC files are described in Annex I to this inventory.
Arrangement of the ETUC archives
The largest problem in the arranging of the ETUC archives was that the ETUC
did not have centrally kept archives. Some important series such as minutes of
the Executive Committee and Congress documents were kept up by the Secretariat.
These series were in relatively good order. But the biggest part of the
archives, comprising files formed by secretaries or their assistants, was in a
chaotic state. For the most part, the secretaries, appointed by the Executive
Committee, only functioned for a few years. They departed when a successor was
elected after the expiring of the regular term or very suddenly, when a new job
was found. And they left their rather chaotic archives to the Secretariat. Such
secretaries mostly had a specialised task such as for instance employment,
energy, women or youth issues. Where known and relevant the name of the
Secretary or Assistant whose file it was, is mentioned at the end of a
description. This is especially important when more than one person held files
on the same meeting, conference or subject. Apart from the rapid succession of
secretaries and assistants a special problem of an organisation like the ETUC
is its international character. It is multilingual but most functionaries
including the secretaries do not speak all the official languages. Files are
often preponderantly in one language and therefore rather personal. For
instance it may happen that some files are predominantly in Italian language.
Circular letters, reports and other processed or printed documents of the ETUS,
ECFTU, ETUC in Norwegian are in most cases removed from the archives. The
preservation of documents in French, German and English provides a sufficient
guarantee for their accessibility.
Equally the relativily well ordered
part of the archives had its problems. There was a code list, even several code
lists. Once a system with letter-indications was used and then a decimal code.
And a combination of these two ways of arranging was also in use for a longer
or shorter period. Often the codes mentioned on the documents or the packages
were not in accordance with the codes in the list. In effect the code systems
used by the ETUC and its predecessors were not a good and reliable guideline
for the making of this inventory. Therefore the old codes are not mentioned in
the descriptions. Only the main division in the various sections (employment,
energy, environment, women, youth etc.) was usable. Therefore most headings in
the inventory are listed after headings in the code list and also the sequence
of the headings was partly followed.
A new division for the inventory was
devised. The point of departure was that this division should be clear and
easily understood by researchers, consulting the archives.
The main
criterion for arranging the inventory was the specific topic and not the
institution handling the subject. This means for instance that conferences
organised by the European Economic Community on employment issues can be found
under the heading 'Employment' and not under the heading 'European Community
Institutions' where only more general files on the European Community are
placed.
In the main division 'General' in which meetings of the Executive
Committee, Congresses, general correspondence and annual reports are listed,
the documents of ETUS, ECFTU and ETUC are strictly separated. In the main
division 'Particular' in which the subject files are classifed, this separation
was not adopted because many files continued from the old into the new
organisation. The transitions ETUS-ECFTU in 1969 and ECFTU-ETUC in 1973 did not
involve a new way of organising the archives.
Some so called
documentation collections of the IISH regarding the ETUS, ECFTU and ETUC were
integrated in the archives, described in this inventory. This happened after
selection because most of these documents originating from the collections of
Dutch trade unions were already present in the archives of ETUS, ECFTU and
ETUC.
In the ETUC archives there are a comparatively large number of
documents on the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training
CEDEFOP and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working
Conditions. This is because the ETUC was very active in both organisations. A
further justification for keeping these documents together was that it is
unclear whether the archives of both organisations are well kept elsewhere.
Documents of the European Community Institutions, the Council of Europe
and the International Labour Organisation have been kept
when they were a part of a file. When they were found as single items in the
archives, they were removed.
The archives of the ETUC include archives of
the Trade Union Committee for the European Free Trade Area (EFTA-TUC). Its
General Secretary Ian J. Graham had his office in the same building in Brussels
