To Study the trade union movement in the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub- Tics you begin with the factory com- Taittee. Tt is the basic unit in the inion organization. Its chief fune- tions are, in brief: 1, To safeguard and protect the in- terests of workers in the en‘erprise. 2. To do everything within its power—and it has broad powers guar- j tical whion or anteed under the labor code of the Tand—to improve the social and ma- terial conditions of the workers. 3, To represent the workers in their ‘dargaining relations with their em- ‘ployer (state or private) but also in relations with the government and various public authorities. 4, To supervise enlistment of the snembers in the union, to coilect dues ‘and to carry out all other duties com- monly performed by primary union ‘rgans in other countries. — Workers’ Committees, The number of workers elected to ‘hese committees, at a general elec- | tion Meeting of all. workers, varies from 8 to 20, according to the size ‘of the plant.

The highest body is the Central Council of Trade Unions (C. C. T. U.), which corresponds in a general way to the American Fed- eration of Labor. However, it is| clected at a congress of delegates from all the lower state, not natiénal, Just as if delegates to the A, F.
