Anhui Federation of Trade Unions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Anhui Federation of Trade Unions (AFTU; Chinese: 安徽省总工会), a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), was officially founded in October 1927 in Hefei during the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-led labor movement. [1]
Its origins lie in early industrial organizations such as the Bengbu Railway (Chinese: 蚌埠铁路) Workers' Union in 1925, which orchestrated strikes against British and Japanese-controlled rail operations along the Tianjin-Pukou Railway. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the AFTU collaborated with the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui, organizing coal miners in Huainan to disrupt Japanese supply networks and support guerrilla resistance.[2][3][4]
Post-1949, the AFTU centralized labor governance in state-owned enterprises, notably managing the Maanshan Iron and Steel Company (MA Steel, established 1953) and promoting Socialist Labor Competitions.[5] During the 1990s economic reforms, it addressed labor disputes in rural industries and migrant worker rights in cities like Wuhu, aligning with national labor contract standardization.[6] In the 2010s, the AFTU prioritized rural-urban labor integration through initiatives like the Anhui Migrant Workers' Skills Training Center (Chinese: 安徽省总工会干部学校) in 2016 and supported tech-driven employment under the provincial "Digital Anhui" strategy.[7]
