Qinghai Federation of Trade Unions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Qinghai Federation of Trade Unions (QHFTU; Chinese: 青海省总工会), a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), was formally established in March 1951 in Xining following the CCP's consolidation of control over northwestern China.[1]

History

[edit]

Its early activities stemmed from Chaidamu Basin salt miners' collectives in 1940s, which resisted Nationalist and warlord exploitation during the Chinese Civil War. During the 1950s–1960s, the QHFTU mobilized workers for state-led projects such as the Qinghai-Tibet Highway in 1954 and the Golmud Oil Refinery in 1958, integrating Tibetan and Hui ethnic laborers under socialist labor campaigns.[2][3]

Post-1978 reforms saw the union address layoffs in declining state-owned mining enterprises and mediate disputes in Xining's emerging ethnic handicraft industries.[4] In the 2010s, it prioritized ecological labor transitions through the Qinghai Green Skills Initiative in 2017, training workers in solar energy and lithium extraction for the Qaidam Renewable Energy Base.[5][6]
