From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Henan Federation of Trade Unions (HNFTU; Chinese: 河南省总工会), a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), was formally established in February 1925 in Zhengzhou during the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-led labor movement.[1]

History

[edit]

Its origins trace to pivotal organizations such as the Jinghan Railway Workers' Union in 1923, which spearheaded the February 7th Strike in 1923 against Belgian and French colonial railway concessions, mobilizing over 20,000 workers. During the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937–1945, the HNFTU coordinated sabotage operations in the Taihang Mountains, disrupting Japanese coal and iron ore shipments to occupied northern China.[2]

Post-1949, the HNFTU centralized labor governance in state-owned heavy industries, managing enterprises like the Luoyang Tractor Factory in 1955 and promoting Soviet-inspired Labor Emulation campaigns.[3] During the 1990s economic reforms, it addressed layoffs in state-owned textile mills and mediated disputes in Zhengzhou's emerging logistics and electronics hubs, aligning with national labor standardization policies. In the 2010s, the HNFTU prioritized rural migrant worker integration through initiatives such as the Henan Migrant Workers' Legal Aid Network in 2012 and advanced digital employment under the provincial "Digital Henan" strategy.[4][5]
