National Trade Union Confederation of Finland
The National Trade Union Confederation of Finland (Suomen Kansallinen Ammattikuntajärjestö, SKA) was a Finnish
Fascist Italy. The organization stood out from the Free Workers' Union , controlled by the National Coalition Party and employers, among other things in that it supported the Minimum Wage Act and opposed only “political” strikes, not all strikes in general. The organization also called for the introduction of a labor dispute settlement procedure and for reforms related to workplace democracy.[1][2]
The motto of the organization was “the benefit of the whole before group and private interests”. It absolutely opposed the class struggle doctrine of the left. SKA wanted to improve the position of the work force in order to create the
Social Democrat and Red Guard member. SKA's deputy chairman was Rauno Kallia, editor-in-chief of Ajan Suunta magazine, and in addition to Kallia, IKL politicians Vilho Annala and Eino Tuomivaara were members of the organisation's board.[3] The SKA was abolished after the Continuation War under Article 21 of the Moscow Armistice banning all fascist organisations.[4]
