  • ... that when one president of the General Union of Public Sector and Transport Workers tried to negotiate with the Nazi government, the other resigned in protest? Source: "Als Vorsitzender des Gesamtverbandes und ADGB-Vorstandsmitglied suchte Becker die Existenzmöglichkeiten von Gewerkschaften in Gesprächen mit den Gewalthabern auszuloten" [1], "Lehnte jeden "Anpassungskurs" an die herrschenden Nationalsozialisten ab und ließ sich am 28. April 1933 mit der Absicht beurlauben, nicht mehr in den Dienst der Gewerkschaft zurückzukehren. Bei der Besetzung des Gewerkschaftshauses durch die SA am 2. Mai 1933 als Anwesender verhaftet und in das Antikriegsmuseum in der Parochialstraße verbracht" [2]

  • Thanks for an interesting article. It is new enough, long enough, and within policy. AGF on German sources. Two questions; first, the "Leadership" section doesn't have references; some of it is supported in the prose above, but it would avoid any raised eyebrows if sources are duplicated/added there. Second, the body of the article says the second president intended to resign, but doesn't say he actually did so; it needs to be explicit. Vanamonde (Talk) 22:13, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, I came by to promote ALT2, and while I see an inline cite for the one who planned to resign in protest, I don't see an inline cite for the one who tried to negotiate. Yoninah (talk) 12:56, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
