Abstract: Abstract Trade unions are essentially a product of capitalism. Although their beginnings can be traced back to the journeymen’s associations of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, their real development became associated only with the industrialization of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. That development began against the background of the breakdown of paternalistic feudalism, the regulated craft guilds and the orderly domestic system, which were replaced instead by the freedom of enterprise, the dispossession of small villagers, the bankruptcy of the craftsmen, the factory system and ascendant capitalists.
