The International Secretariat of National Trade Union Centres (ISNTUC), often simply referred to as the International Secretariat and later renamed the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU), was an international consultative body of trade unions. Founded in 1901, it broke apart and became defunct during the First World War. ==Founding== ISNTUC was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, on August 21, 1901. Founding members of the new International Secretariat were the German, French, British, Belgian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish trade union centres. Together the founding organizations had a combined membership of 1 168 000.〔Goethem, Geert van. ''(The Amsterdam International: The World of the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU), 1913–1945 )''. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006. pp. 14–15, 59〕 The idea to build an international trade union structure had been a proposal of the Danish union president Jens Jensen. In 1900 the British General Federation of Trade Unions leader Isaac Michel supported the idea, whilst the leader of the German Generalkommission der Gewerkschaften Deutschlands (which had one million members at the time) Carl Legien pledged to provide financial and administrative support to the new international organization.〔 Parallel to the ISNTUC were various International Trade Secretariats, most of them based in Germany and, like the ISNTUC, dependent on support from the German unions.〔Goethem, Geert van. ''(The Amsterdam International: The World of the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU), 1913–1945 )''. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006. p. 15〕 In 1903 Legien became Secretary of ISNTUC and the headquarters of the organization was moved to Berlin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Secretariat of National Trade Union Centres」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
