Delegates of the congress, in Folkets Hus A-sal in Stockholm, 1918
Description
In 1910, Svenska Kommunalarbetareförbundet (The Swedish Municipal Workers' Union) was formed, but the first municipal workers' conference was held as early as 1908. The driving force behind the formation of the union was the municipal umbrella organisation within Grov- och fabriksarbetareförbundet (the General Workers' Union), who organised sanitation workers, among others. From the outset, members of Svenska Spårvägsförbundet (the Swedish Tramway Workers' Union) also joined.
Ludvig Nordgren was the union's first representative, serving from 1910 to 1933.
