Abstract

The first stage in the development of an international trades union movement was the creation of international links among the political organisations which claimed to speak on behalf of the European working classes. For the most part, these European socialist and anarchist political movements were instrumental in forming trades unions within their nations. Only in Britain, whose trades unions had united to form the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in 1868, did the unions antedate the political party. The TUC was in existence and politically active fully seventeen years before it voted to create its own party. Elsewhere in Europe, though, it was the parties who created the unions.
