Abstract: Roughly 100 years ago, in June 1919, the International Labour Organization (ILO) was founded in Paris. Starting from a quite narrow European and mainly industrial focus, the history of the ILO can be read as one of constant expansion, both geographically and with regard to the fields of work and the type of workers represented in the organisation. At the same time the ILO can serve as a mirror of the conflicts and tensions that have characterised the world of work in the course of the past century. The article shows that the history of the ILO offers plenty of starting points to reflect about both the foundations and the limits of solidarity between states, societies, social groups and individuals on a global scale. The ILO appears not only as a sounding board for ideas of transnational solidarity, but also as a field of action for the latter’s practical political implementation.
