!!!Freie Gewerkschaften

Freie Gewerkschaften (Free trade unions), Trade unions organised 
within the context of the socialist workers' movement. Unlike the 
Christian trade unions, Freie Gewerkschaften were organised to reflect 
the class struggle. In Austria the free trade associations 
consolidated in 1892 and organised the first Austrian conference of 
trade unions in Vienna in 1893. In 1921 the Freie Gewerkschaften had 
their highest number of members with 1,079,777. They were dissolved in 
February 1934, after 1945 their assets were returned to the Socialist 
Trade Union group of the Austrian  Federation of Trade Unions.
