From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shandong Federation of Trade Unions (SDFTU; Chinese: 山东省总工会), a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), was formally established in May 1925 in Qingdao during the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-led labor movement.[1]

History

[edit]

Its origins trace to revolutionary organizations such as the Zaozhuang Coal Miners Union in 1922, which orchestrated the Zaozhuang Miners' Strike in 1923 against German and Japanese mining concessions, mobilizing over 15,000 workers.[2] During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the SDFTU coordinated sabotage operations in the Shandong Peninsula, disrupting Japanese coal and iron ore shipments to Manchuria through the Jinpu Railway.[3][4]

Post-1949, the SDFTU centralized labor governance in state-owned heavy industries, overseeing enterprises like the Jinan Iron and Steel Works in 1958 and promoting Soviet-inspired Model Worker campaigns. During the 1980s economic reforms, it mediated disputes in Qingdao's Special Economic Zone, particularly in South Korean-funded electronics factories, and implemented China's first rural migrant worker unionization pilot in 1988. In the 2010s, the SDFTU prioritized industrial upgrading through initiatives such as the Shandong Skilled Workers Training Network in 2016 and advanced digital labor platforms under the provincial "Digital Shandong" strategy.[5][6]
