Locations of International Labor Organizations

It is important for the historian or scholar of the international labor move ment to be aware of the contemporary structure and activities of the international labor confederations. Too often historians fail to take these organizations seriously as significant repositories of information on trade union policy. However, since the days of the First International in the nineteenth century, when efforts arose to unify many of the demands of national labor movements into one general political movement of all workers, trade union confederations built across national lines have functioned to fulfill this original need and political aim of workers everywhere. The names and addresses of international labor organizations listed below will hopefully provide the historian or student of labor with some overall picture of the institu tional framework of trade unions on a global scale. Its usefulness becomes more apparent in the modern period, where one is engaged in the analysis of various labor movements in the post World War II period
