#OtD 19 May 1933 Germany's Nazi government abolished collective bargaining – the principle of workers collectively negotiating with employers over pay and conditions. Instead, conditions were to be regulated by labour "trustees", appointed by Hitler https://t.co/xxuGS1maBC https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9129/nazis-abolish-collective-bargaining?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@workingclasshistory Why didn’t the German trade unions see it coming and fight?

1933 May 1: May Day. The remaining SPD is a different beast than Frederick Engels had known. This creature supports Hitler’s various labor “reorganizations” and encourages workers to march in the Nazi “National Day of Labor” parade May 1.

1933 May 2: Nazis take over the trade-union movement and send labor leaders to concentration camps.
