Central Confederation of Daxian Trade Unions: Difference between revisions

==History==

The All-Corummese Workers Central Union had been created during the presidency of [[Qiu Heng]] to absorb all of the unions and workers cooperatives that had begun to spring into existence in the late Qian period. Most of these workers bodies agreed to join the ACWCU, the few that resisted and tried to maintain their autonomy were repressed by the government. The compromise was to keep the factories running and workers off the streets in exchange for guaranteed salary hikes and other privileges. The arrangement worked until the [[National Reconstruction Front (Corumm)|NRF]] began to critically weaken in the 1980's, its legitimacy coming under increasing scrutiny. The ACWCU broke its pact with the government, perhaps hoping to extract more concessions and whitewash its public image as government cronies. Whatever the case the union joined the campaign for free elections, led ironically by [[Linge Chen]], the man who would become the hangman of the old union.

After a failed attempt to impose new pro-[[Party of Corummese Democrats|PCD]] leadership at the top of the All-Corummese Workers Central Union(ACWCU), the Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions was formed in 1992 as an effort to undermine the former and render it irrelevant as a political force. With the connivance and support from the newly elected [[Linge Chen]] government, the mining magnate and PCD member Frede Gronk conducted suspect assembly meetings and registered the CCCTU with the Ministry of Labor, enrolling thousands of his workers into the new organization.
