Syndicalist Movement in Croatia in the Between-the-War Period and Peasant Workers
Bosiljka Janjatović
Sažetak
The basic aspects of the thesis "Syndicalist Movement in Croatia from 1918 to 1941 and Peasant Workers" can be defined in a few short statements: in Croatia, at the above mentioned period, the category of peasant workers among the workers had become an important factor, while with the approaching conclusion of that period it had grown to the extent that by 1934 it represented more than a half of that class; this was, of course, due to the empoverishment of the country leading naturally to the regruting of the proletariat from that population and bringing them to live and work under the conditions of that-time capitalistic system. As, owing to that-time general political and social conditions the worker class of Croatia was without any rights, having even to undergo various attempts of the opposing citizen parties to reduce even their minimal rights in order to direct the workers to the currents acceptable to their own forces, it is easily comprehensible that the peasant workers had found themselves in a much worse situation. General political and social conditions and characteristical aspects of the worker class, and we are dealing with the very first generation of the workers, had been decisive for the fractional structure, non-unity of syndical movement, and also its being divided into organizations influenced by the communist ideas, i. e. CPY, as well as organizations influenced by various other currents - from socialist ones to Croatian Worker Association guided by CPP. While, during, all this period of time, the communist orientated syndicates were for an organized struggle of all the workers, not regarding their qualifications or social or organizational structure, for better work and material conditions of all the workers including those not organized, other syndicates, mostly out of different ideological and practical reasons dedicated not even a small part of their attention to the problem; however, beginnig with the middle thirties there was an exception - the syndicate under the influence of CPP, the Croatian Worker Association, the wish of which, based on the program of CPP, was to gather round them the workers, particularly the peasant workers. However, all the good intentions of the work of the Association were really leading to directing the worker actions into narrow channels and to taking the verve out of the class struggles of the workers.
