INTRODUCTION
The International Federation of Trade Unions (I.F.T.U.) was set up on the 21st of August 1901 in Copenhagen, Denmark and was known as the International Secretariat of Trade Union Centres till the First World War.
In 1902 at the Conference of Stuttgart it was decided to establish the Secretariat of the I.F.T.U. in Berlin under the direction of Karl Legien .
In view of the wartime conditions in 1914 a Sub-Secretariat was set up in Amsterdam on neutral ground under the management of the Dutch trade unionist Jan Oudegeest , while the headquarters of the I.F.T.U. stayed in Berlin. The so-called "Entente-countries" (U.S.A., France, Great-Britain, Russia and Belgium) raised serious objections to the latter and desired the removal of the headquarters from Berlin to a neutral country.
The German trade unionists took the position that such a decision could only be taken by an international conference, which could not possibly meet under the prevalent circumstances. According to them it was necessary to wait for the end of the war. Thereupon the trade unions from the Entente-countries decided to set up a Central Office of Correspondence in Paris under the direction of Léon Jouhaux . Berlin and Paris competed with each other.
In 1919 at the Conference of Amsterdam it was decided to establish the Secretariat in Amsterdam. In 1930 the headquarters of the I.F.T.U. was removed again to Berlin, in spite of opposition from many within the I.F.T.U. who did not think the circumstances in Germany were favourable.
Within two years the headquarters had to be removed to Paris. At the outbreak of the Second World War the headquarters and the staff had to move to London.
The funds of the I.F.T.U. were transferred to London and to New York. The greatest part of the archives was hidden from the Nazis in a house in Savigny-le-Temple, a very small village 26 miles south of Paris. The rest of the archives and other documents was hidden by the staff of the I.F.T.U. in a small village called Sables-d'Olonne on the Atlantic coast 250 miles west of Paris.
However, within a few months the Gestapo succeeded in finding the archives, which were transported by the German military police first to Paris and later to Berlin.
Then the archives and documents were distributed in all directions of Germany with the intention to reclassify or possibly to destroy them. Most of the buildings, where the archives of the I.F.T.U. were kept, were completely destroyed by bombardments during the last months of the war.
After the war several attempts were made to find the archives but unfortunately without any result.
In December 1945 it was decided to dissolve the I.F.T.U. and to create the World federation of Trade Unions.
The present documents from before 1939 were collected by the former librarian of the International Institute of Social History, Mrs. Annie Adama van Scheltema . The documents from the period after 1939 were collected by Walter Schevenels who was the General Secretary of the I.F.T.U. from 1930 up to 1945. After the dissolution of the I.F.T.U. Schevenels had been instructed to liquidate the I.F.T.U., which was completed in 1953.
The greater part of the collection covers the period from 1939 up to 1953, but there are no documents concerning the Congresses from that period.
Organisation
The management of the I.F.T.U. was in the hands of an Executive Committee and General Council who were bound to act in accordance with the decisions of its Congress.
The Executive Committee consisted of a President, five Vice-Presidents and the General Secretary and met at least six times a year. The Executive Committee decided all questions except those expressly reserved for the General Council and the Congress. In case of emergency the Executive could take decision on any question whatsoever.
The General Council consisted of the members of the Executive Committee and one delegate from each affiliated national centre. Meetings of the Council were held once a year. The Executive Committee had the right to convene extraordinary meetings. Such meetings should also be convened on the demand of at least one-third of the members of the General Council. The duties of the General Council were among other things: to examine the activities of the Executive Committee; to examine the programme of action for the coming year; to pass the annual financial report; to pass the budget for the coming year; to deal with all matters pertaining to the affiliation or expulsion of National Centres.
The Congress consisted of delegates of the affiliated National Centres. The ordinary Congress of the I.F.T.U. met every three years. Extraordinary Congress could be convened at any time.
The final decision on all questions rested with the Congress. Its specific duties included among other things: supervising the activities of the Executive Committee and the General Council; determining the programme of action; deciding upon any alterations to be made in the rules and regulations; electing the members of the Executive Committee, the General Secretary and the Assistant Secretaries.
the General Secretary managed the Secretariat taking care of the administration of the I.F.T.U.
