http://www.cfmeu.net.au/topics/2197.html, where, it says "The World
Federation of Trade Unions was formed in Paris on the 3rd of October 1945 and
was attended by delegates representing 67 million workers from 56 national
organisations from 55 countries and 20 international organisations. Among the
original aims of the WFTU is to 'combat war and the causes of war and work for a
stable and enduring peace'. Other founding resolutions are the right for workers
to organise themselves, freedom from discrimination on race, creed colour or
sex, the right to work and to paid holidays, living wages and social security to
guarantee against unemployment, in sickness, accidents and old age. The WFTU
today continues to represent millions of workers around the globe in class based
trade unionism."
