Abstract

The article studies developments in power wielded by the single transport union (Sindicat Únic del Transport or CNT) in Barcelona among dock, transport and tram workers during the Republic. It also looks at the anarchist trade unionist influence among the staff of Telefónica. The CNT did not manage to secure exclusive rights at the port in a conflict with the UGT trade union concerning the distribution of work during the economic crisis. The connection of the urban transport strike in November-December 1933 with the second uprising attempted by anarchists that year led to sackings which resulted in 114 acts of sabotage. Dock and transport workers went on strike just a few days before the Civil War broke out. Collectivisation led to absolute control of urban transport by the CNT, its hegemony at the port and control of Telefónica, in the last case until the events in May 1937.
