CPS honours WFTU on its 76th anniversary
Friday 8 October 2021:- The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) honours the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) on its 76th anniversary since founding on 3 October 1945.
The historic First World Trade Union Congress which marked the establishment of the WFTU was held 3–8 October 1945 in Paris. The founding Congress was attended by delegates representing 67 million workers of the world.
The WFTU never deviated from its revolutionary working-class internationalism roots since establishment. Notwithstanding the relentless attacks from imperialist forces, the WFTU was able to organise more workers along the anti-imperialist line. As a result of this revolutionary approach, the WFTU made a sterling contribution to the fight against colonialism, particularly in Africa.
The CPS is also inspired by the efforts of revolutionaries who dedicated themselves to rebuild the WFTU in 2005 in Havana, Cuba, and made it what it is today.
In continuing to strengthen the WFTU, the CPS will continue to make its contribution to conscientise the working class in Swaziland, in the struggle for democracy. The organising of workers in Swaziland along the red line is crucial for the overthrow of the absolute monarchy and establishment of democracy under a democratic republic.
Long live working-class internationalism!
Workers of the World, Unite!
