ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF TRADE UNIONS IN CROATIA 1945-1955
Ljiljana Cingulin
Sažetak
Incorporating Archives of the Institute for the History of Labour Movement in 1995, Croatian State Archives (CSA) got archival materials of the highest bodies of the Trade Union Confederation and of the vocational trade unions of the Socialist Republic of Croatia. Archives of the trade union bodies of local character are kept in the regional archives, and those of the trade union bodies of federal character in the Yugoslav Archives in Belgrade. Archival materials of the trade unions are kept in 86 archival fonds of the CSA. Regarding time and political circumstances in which they were active, they are divided into two bigger groupings, with dividing line marked by WWII. The first grouping consists of the pre-war trade union organizations, which belong to a long period of time, from the first attempts of workers to be organized in the mid 19th century till 1941 and 1945, respectively. Characteristic of this period was existence of more trade union head offices, with central role of the Trade Union Chamber, and work in difficult political and economical circumstances. Their archives are preserved fragmentary,
with wide range of arrangement levels, from elementary to analytical
ones, and variety of finding aids. Archives of this period are completely accessible to the public. The second grouping consists of the archives from 1945 to 1990, i.e. till the moment of establishment of the independent Republic of Croatia. They worked in completely changed political circumstances, having active role in political power. The most of their archives are not arranged and described. This paper reconstructs their organizational structure and relations between trade union bodies in Yugoslavia and Croatia in the period from 1945 to 1955, on the basis of statutory and other documents of the highest decision-making bodies of the trade union organization.
