The National Trade Union Confederation of Finland was a Finnish fascist workers' organization affiliated with the Patriotic People's Movement (IKL) which was founded in April 1935. The organization was set up to get the working population to support IKL, and its role models were similar corporatist workers' organizations in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The organization stood out from the Free Workers' Union, controlled by the National Coalition Party and employers, among other things in that it supported the Minimum Wage Act and opposed only “political” strikes, not all strikes in general. The organization also called for the introduction of a labor dispute settlement procedure and for reforms related to workplace democracy.
