What is the fflc?
The foundation bears the name of Francisco
Largo Caballero , as a token of gratitude to all he did for the
trade union movement of this country.
The Francisco Largo Caballero
foundation was formed in 1978 by members of UGT, and since then the
foundation has wished to present itself as open minded, and
democratic for people or institutions who are interested in the
studying of social conditions ,to improve the lives of the most
downtrodden in society and to encourage the discussion of
progressive ideas. Another purpose of this organisation is to give
society (including investigators, scientific community etc.) access
to UGT´s archives and documentaties.
The work carried out by the Francisco
Largo Caballero Foundation in its early years consisted in mainly
recovering historical documents regarding the trade union from all
over the world , such as the UGT archives in exile. This has helped
the reconstruction of the historical memory of the worker movement,
and has helped to build one of Spain´s most important research
centres on the subject of the history of the trade union movement.
The Largo Caballero foundation also has
an active presence in Spanish society. Promoting investigation ,
debate and the exchange of different ideas over trade unionism and
issues such as equality, solidarity and social justice within the
worker movement. The foundation also organises meetings, rallies,
and lectures in which experts distribute publications regarding the
many social problems , and to encourage discussion over culture and
socialist theories.
