	World Federation of Trade Unions
		The WFTU therefore proclaims its prime objective is to contribute to the emancipation of the working people by means of struggle:
		The WFTU seeks to realize the aforementioned objectives by organizing and coordinating international solidarity actions; disseminating information; organizing seminars and conferences; assisting in capacity building; conducting research and training activities; and representing its union affiliates in international and inter-governmental institutions.
		The WFTU holds consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, the ILO, UNESCO, FAO, and other UN agencies.

	WFTU and Workers
		WFTU expresses its international solidarity with all the trade unionists from the United States and other countries that declared that trade and economic policies should have a social content.
		The WFTU therefore proposes that new laws should be enacted in all member countries of the United Nations, to provide that all business corporations, private and public sector enterprises, include in their annual reports appropriate statements on their compliance with international labour standards.
		The WFTU and its affiliates in 130 countries are in favour of greater international economic cooperation which can certainly accelerate global economic and social development and in the interest of all nations, states and peoples and each social partner in every society all over the world.

	Prague 1968: the Last, late short spring of the WFTU
		In 1989 - because of 1989 - the WFTU was reduced to a ghost of its former spectre.
		The WFTU occupied some three floors of a massive former hotel, on a square named after Marie Curie, on the banks of the Vltava, directly opposite the steep bank on which there had once stood the world’s largest statue of Stalin.
		The WFTU Secretariat voted, with one opposed (Russian), a condemnation of the Soviet invasion.

	The Guardian
		The WFTU position on these matters is quite clear that neo-liberal capitalist globalisation must be confronted and defeated and that the international trade union movement must unite, irrespective of ideological and organisational outlooks and affiliations, to act together with all other democratic forces striving for peace, development, justice and social progress.
		The WFTU's recognition of this and the efforts by member bodies and Trade Union Internationals (TUIs) to build that unity are to be admired and of course encouraged.
		Twenty-one unions from around the world applied for and were accepted as members of the WFTU at the Congress, signalling that WFTU membership is steadily growing and that an international trade union organisation basing itself on class struggle and socialism is far from irrelevant in today's economic and political climate.

		The WFTU wishes to reiterate that the basic issues outlined in the international development strategies and the General Assembly Declaration and Programme of Action for the establishment of a New International Economic Order (NIEO) which was adopted a quarter of a century ago, it appears, are being sidelined - if not ignored.
		The WFTU reiterates its submission to the earlier Ministerial Meetings that WTO should act upon the basic issues and ensure that international trading systems are based on principles of equality, sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.
		The WFTU hopes that the Third Ministerial Meeting will impress upon all Member States of the WTO to uphold the basic principles of international trade law and cancel all trade bans and other such measures which affect the free flow of international trade.

		In WftU if you have an army general who is good, like Lee or Grant when promoted, you don't really care who is under their command since you only can get +2 for leaders, commander and subcommanders (average value) added together.
		As the CSA player in WftU you really think twice before going to the offensive because of the manpower costs, and only attack when an opportunity has arisen and something important can be achieved from it.
		WftU is seldom mentioned, which I think is sad because it really is a good game, CW seems to have a rather numerous following though.

		Alazeon appealed to the WFTU to launch a world wide campaign against the gross injustice done to the Cuban patriots and demanding their immediate, unconditional release.
		This is intolerable attitude that we condemn… and is being increasingly rejected as recently demonstrated by the vote of the United Nations General Assembly condemning the inhuman and barbaric blockade against Cuba".

	ICFTU Archives
		At organisational level the question of whether the WFTU should be a centralised body formed a source of discord between Western and communist-orientated trade unions.
		While the Executive Board of the WFTU adopted a negative attitude towards the Marshall Plan, many western trade unions under the leadership of the British TUC convened a conference in 1948 and established the Trade Union Advisory Committee for the European Recovery Plan.
		The relationship with the WFTU and its affiliates was a complex problem that the ICFTU had to deal with in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

	Rejoinder
		The history of the international labour movement, and in particular the post-war period, the establishment of the WFTU and its split, the emergence of the ICFTU, is well documented.
		The role of the CIA has often been overestimated both by its supporters and its enemies, and it is significant to note that when its hold on parts of the labour movement was finally broken, communist trade unionists had nothing to do with it.
		The true function of the WFTU became apparent after the split, when it became one of a number of Soviet-controlled international organisations, which constituted the political bodyguards of Soviet foreign policy in civil society (unions, but also youth, students, women, the peace movement, lawyers, academics and scientists, etc.).

	Application of International Labour Standards (LibSynd)
		In its last communication, the WFTU points out that the two trade union leaders who were sentenced to five months' imprisonment and a heavy fine subsequently lodged an appeal, which was upheld by the court on 19 March 1981.
		However, the WFTU adds that the workers who were dismissed as a result of the November strike have not been reinstated in their work and alleges that other court cases are under way against GENOP officials.
		The Government states that 102 workers holding fixed term contracts, and not 200 as the WFTU erroneously alleges, were dismissed in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions and; the company's staff regulations.

	World Federation of Trade Unions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) was established in the wake of the Second World War to bring together trade unions across the world in a single international organization, much like the United Nations.
		After a number of Western trade unions left it in 1949, as a result of disputes over support for the Marshall Plan, to form the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, the WFTU was made up primarily of state-run unions from communist countries and unions affiliated with or sympathetic to communist parties elsewhere.
		The WFTU has declined precipitously in the past twenty years since the fall of the communist regimes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, with many of its former constituent unions joining the ICFTU.

	About WFTU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The foundation of the WFTU was thus seen as indicative of the new era that had opened with the defeat of fascism at the hands of the anti-fascist alliance of states.
		The WFTU organised an intense solidarity campaign in support of the anti-fascist forces in Spain and Greece and managed to convince the U.N. to recommend to member states the withdrawal of their ambassadors from Madrid.
		It is for this reason that the WFTU intends to transform itself into a flexible, light and operational general structure capable of adapting to the needs of member organisations, a structure which in effect aims to see itself being placed within a thoroughly transformed international trade unionism.
