Hebei Federation of Trade Unions
The Hebei Federation of Trade Unions (HBFTU; Chinese: 河北省总工会), a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), was founded in July 1925 in Tianjin (then part of Hebei) during the Chinese Communist Party-led labor movement.[1]
History
[edit]Its origins lie in the Kailuan Coal Miners' Union in 1922, which led the Kailuan Miners' Strike against British-owned collieries, mobilizing over 30,000 workers. During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945), the HBFTU organized sabotage operations in Yan Mountains to disrupt Japanese coal shipments to Manchuria.[2]
Post-1949, the HBFTU managed labor relations in state-owned steel and chemical industries, notably overseeing the Tangshan Iron and Steel Company in 1958 and Soviet-inspired Production Innovation drives.[3] Post-1978 reforms saw it address layoffs in declining textile mills and mediate disputes in Shijiazhuang's pharmaceutical industrial parks.[4] In the 2010s, the HBFTU promoted rural worker reskilling through the Hebei Industrial Skills Academy in 2015 and advanced digital labor platforms under the "Digital Hebei" strategy.[5]
