Italian Federation of Chemical Workers
Trade union of Italy
The Italian Federation of Chemical Workers (Italian: Federazione Italiana Lavoratori Chimici, FILC) was a trade union representing workers in the chemical industry in Italy.
The union was founded in 1901, as the Italian Chemical Workers' Federation, and was a founding affiliate of the General Confederation of Labour. It was banned by the fascist government in 1926, but re-established after World War II, when it affiliated to the recently formed Italian General Confederation of Labour.[1][2] By 1954, it had 123,286 members.[3]
In 1960, the union merged with the Italian Union of Oil Workers, to form the Italian Federation of Chemical and Oil Workers.[2]
