International Graphical Federation - IGF (1949-1999)
Samling
Beskrivning
The organisation was a global union federation for printing workers, officially founded in 1949 in Stockholm, following initial merger plans that began in 1939 but were delayed by World War II.
IGF focused on industry-related issues such as technological changes, labour standards, and dispute information, operating through specialised boards and an executive committee. It was affiliated with the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions but was suspended in 1967 due to political tensions.
In 1999, IGF merged with several other federations to form Union Network International, expanding its scope to broader communication and media sectors.
