Italian Federation of Agricultural Employees and Labourers

Last updated

The Italian Federation of Agricultural Employees and Labourers (Italian : Federazione Italiana Salariati Braccianti Agricoli e Maestranze Specializzate, FISBA) was a trade union representing workers in the agricultural sector in Italy.

The union was founded on 1 May 1950, with most of its members being Christian democrats who had left the National Federation of Agricultural Workers. It affiliated to the new Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions (CISL), and also to the International Landworkers' Federation. [1] It was initially led by Angelo Formis, then by Amos Zanibelli, Paulo Sartori and, finally, Albino Gorini.

The union was CISL's largest affiliate, claiming 361,500 members in 1955, [2] and 214,430 members in 1996. The following year, it merged with the Federation of Food and Tobacco, to form the Italian Federation of Agriculture, Food and the Environment. [1]

World Federation of Trade Unions International organization

The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) is an international federation of trade unions. WFTU was established in 1945 to replace the International Federation of Trade Unions. Its mission was to bring together trade unions across the world in a single international organization, much like the United Nations. After a number of Western trade unions left it in 1949, as a result of disputes over support for the Marshall Plan, to form the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, the WFTU was made up primarily of unions affiliated with or sympathetic to communist parties. In the context of the Cold War, the WFTU was often portrayed as a Soviet front organization. A number of those unions, including those from Yugoslavia and China, left later when their governments had ideological differences with the Soviet Union.
