SJEZD ODBOROVÉ SKUPINY ČESKOSLOVENSKÉ VE VELKÉ BRITÁNII V ROCE 1944
CONGRESS OF CZECHOSLOVAK TRADE UNION IN GREAT BRITAIN IN 1944

Summary/Abstract: Due to a rich trade union tradition and a necessity to deal with working conditions in the exile, in autumn 1941, independent Czechoslovak trade union was established in Great Britain with the help of local unions. As the Czechoslovak union group grew stronger, it became an unavoidable partner for the government in the labour and social issues. The Congress of the exile Czechoslovak Trade Union in London in 1944 confirmed the wish of union members to unite the movement and supported this idea through its own organisational framework. The congress intended to enforce the unity of trade unions also in the liberated homeland and prepared a fitting program to achieve this goal. The Czechoslovak Trade Union – under the factual cooperation of the Ministry of Social Care due to the personnel union between both organisation - aimed to creating a unified unionist movement, the grounds of which had been laid partially during the Second Republic period, and subsequently finished in the liberated Czechoslovakia.
