Independent Russian labor union emerging in the USSR in the late 1980s among workers of the Leningrad/Saint Petersburg municipal
heating and energy complex. Though the organization is officially called ProfTEK, deciphered that would read Professional'nyi
soiuz [rabotnikov] Teplo-energeticheskogo kompleksa. The independent trade union movement flourished during the late 1980s
and early 1990s. Rising in the same fashion as Poland's Solidarity - as a movement in opposition to official trade unions
- these new independent organizations were always too split by factionalism, local interests, petty politics, and personal
antagonisms to survive, the more so in a political atmosphere that, by the 2000s, was hostile to the existence and development
of independent political movements.
Correspondence, minutes, statements, bylaws, and legal and financial records, relating to the independent labor movement in
post-Soviet Russia.
