Abstract
In this article, the author compares the work of two individuals who left a great impression on the organization of the Croatian workers' movement and unions from 1918 to the 1980s. Josip Cazi had a communist orientation; Josip Beker was a Social Democrat. Cazi promoted revolution, Beker social reform. From the beginning, both were quite active in Slavonia. During the Second World War, Cazi was a member of the Partisan movement, while Beker, because of his anti-fascist beliefs, spent the whole war in prison. After 1945, Cazi made an impressive career for himself, whereas Beker lived on the margins of social developments.
