Description

Here is your chance to pick up an interesting medal for the handwerk organization. Likely given out for long service in a local area. Impressive design throughout. 900 silver and Fyermann marked on the reverse side and overall a great piece. The German Labour Front ( Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF) was the National Socialist labour organization which replaced the   various independent trade unions in Germany after Adolf Hitler’s rise  to  power. Theoretically, DAF existed to act as a medium through which   workers and owners could mutually represent their interests. Wages were   set by the 12 DAF trustees. The employees were given relatively high  set  wages and security of employment, and dismissal was increasingly  made  difficult. Social security and leisure programmes were started,   canteens, breaks, and regular working times were established, and  German  workers were generally satisfied by what the DAF gave them in  repayment  for their absolute loyalty. Employment contracts created  under the  Weimar Republic were abolished and renewed under new  circumstances in  the DAF. Employers could demand more of their workers,  while at the same  time workers were given increased security of work  and increasingly  enrolled into social security programmes for workers.  The organisation,  by its own definition, combated capitalism and  liberalism, but also  revolution against the factory owners and the  National Socialist state.  The DAF, however, did openly prefer to have  large companies nationalised  by the German state, instead of privately  owned companies.  Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
