“The social explosiveness of capitalism increased”, writes Jürgen Kocka, when “It began to expand from the sphere of circulation to the sphere of production and to reshape the world of work directly”.1 The Industrial Revolution, the rise of the factory and the dynamics of capitalist investment were global phenomena. They changed the world of work as men and women left their rural and semi-rural lives to become like cogs, semi-automatons in the production of vast amounts of manufactured goods, which in turn generated streams of cash for the factory own-ers. Workers, however, soon embraced internationalist agendas to advance their political rights in society and prevent wages and working conditions racing to the bottom; “Workers of the world, unite!” famously urged Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848.2 The successive international gatherings of political parties of the left are important benchmarks in working class cooperation, from the Communist League (established in 1847), to the First (1864), Second (1889), Third (1919) and Fourth (1938) Internationales. Trade unions also enthusiastically welcomed internationalist agendas. Bricklayers, miners, stonemasons, transport workers and woodworkers established international federations before the end of the nine-teenth century. An International Secretariat of National Trade Union Centres was created in 1901 and was transformed into the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) in 1913.3 As a consequence, workers’ uprisings and the desire to protest and strike spread across the world.
