Trade unions in Armenia\u2019s mining and metallurgical complex were first established between 1905\u20131907, during a period when Bolsheviks in the Transcaucasus actively promoted the creation of international trade unions in the region. The earliest unions included those at major mining and metallurgical enterprises, such as the Alaverdi and Kapan facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trade unions created in these and other sector enterprises laid the foundation for the establishment of a sectoral union, which was formally formed in the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
