III. Communists OrganizatiOnal
Tasks in the Trade Union
Movement.
The TX plenum of the executive
committee of the Communist Inter
national is of the opinion that one
of the immediate tasks of the inter
national revolutionary trade union
movement is carefully to discuss the
defects of the organizational work
of the Communist Parties and the
revolutionary trade unions aimed to
bringing over the masses to the side
of revolutionary class struggle.
Special attention must be paid to
the organizational tasks of the trade
union movement in colonial countries,
where the revolutionary mass trade
union movement is growing, but is
still inadequately organized.
Organizational work is the weak
est point in the revolutionary trade
union movement, An important
growth of the political influence of
the Communists in the trade unions
has been observed everywhere re-
Gently. But this growth of political
influence is not at all commensurate
with the organizationaI work of the
Communist Party. The Communist
Parties must make special effort
to overcome the organizational weak
ness of the revolutionary trade union
movement and of the organizations
affiliated to it.
