Author George Mavrikos draws from his extensive experience as General Secretary of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) as well as his involvement in Greek trade unions, highlighting critical WFTU Congresses while shedding light on the ideological currents and political contexts that shaped the organization’s trajectory.<\/p>\n

Mavrikos delves into his personal journey, from his upbringing in Greece to his various roles in trade unions, the Greek parliament, and his leadership within WFTU. He emphasizes the continuous struggle to create and defend the WFTU in the post-World War II era, amid the shifting international relations and the emergence of competing international trade union organizations. Mavrikos also addresses the contemporary challenges faced by trade unions, including the re-packaging of reformist arguments and the persistence of political corruption within certain trade union organizations, contrasting WFTU’s commitment to decolonization and opposition to imperialism.<\/p>\n

Critical Notes<\/em>\u00a0is a vital resource for comprehending the historical, ideological, and strategic underpinnings of the world trade union movement. In addition to its compelling narrative, the book includes a foreword by Cu Thi Hau, President of the Vietnamese General Confederation of Labor and a Vice President of WFTU, as well as pages of full-color photos and an exhaustive bibliography of hundreds of works in English, Greek, French, Spanish, Russian and German.<\/p>\n

Shaped by firsthand experience and meticulous research, Critical Notes on the History of the World Trade-Union Movement<\/em> provides an invaluable resource for understanding the complexities and dynamics of international trade union organizations, making it an important read for those seeking a deep understanding of this critical aspect of global labor history.<\/p>\n
