From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shaanxi Federation of Trade Unions (SFTU; Chinese: 陕西省总工会), a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), was formally established in December 1927 in Xi'an during the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-led labor movement. [1]

History

[edit]

Its roots trace to early railway unions such as the Longhai Railway Workers' Association in 1922, which organized strikes against Belgian and Japanese-controlled rail operations in Shaanxi. During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), the SFTU coordinated with the CCP's Eighth Route Army in Yan'an, mobilizing workers to sabotage Japanese supply routes and support wartime production in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.[2][3][4]

After 1949, the SFTU focused on state-owned heavy industries, managing labor relations at enterprises like the Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation in 1958 and promoting Soviet-style Labor Emulation campaigns. During the 1990s reforms, it addressed layoffs in declining state-owned textile mills and mediated disputes in Xi'an's emerging high-tech zones, aligning with national labor contract laws.[5]

In the 2010s, the SFTU prioritized rural migrant worker integration, establishing Shaanxi Migrant Workers' Service Centers in 2014 and partnering with tech companies under the provincial "Digital Shaanxi" strategy.[6][7]
