History of the ITF 1945 - 1965This period was crucial to the development of the ITF, the global trade union movement as a whole, and the ICFTU, the new organisation for trade union confederations, created in 1949 and to which the ITF contributed the first two general secretaries. The thesis, covering a period at the height of the Cold War, provides a great deal of fascinating historical information which helps to explain many of the attitudes which continue to apply to international trade union organisations in various countries even today. It is required reading for anyone with an interest in global trade unionism. The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF), (.pdf) Source: ITF History
