The German Labour Front was created. This vast corporation (which replaced the former Trade Union Associations) was intended to reconcile labourers, skilled workers and managers in a classless industrial structure for the benefit of the Reich. The German Labour Front would neither represent labour interests nor negotiate in determining wage rates (these functions being taken over by the new state commissioners without reference to the workforce). In addition striking was made illegal.
