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.
