Confederación Xeral de Traballadores Galegos-Intersindical Nacional ('General Confederation of Galician Workers', abbreviated CXTG-IN) was a nationalist trade union centre in Galicia.[1] CXTG-IN was founded in 1985, as a split from the Intersindical Nacional dos Traballadores Galegos (INTG).[2] Fernando Acuña served as the general secretary of the organization.[3] Politically the movement was close to Galician leftwing groups.[1]
In 1985 INTG was torn by internal divisions, over questions such as the tactics of general strikes and the building of a new political movement. CXTG was founded as a result of this split.[4]
CXTG-IN participated in the 1986 trade union elections, winning 1,104 delegates (0.62% of the company committees representative seats in all of Spain).[5]
On December 14, 1988 a general strike was organized across Spain. In Galicia two separate mobilizations were organized, one by CC.OO. and UGT and one by CXTG and INTG.[4]
CXTG-IN published the journal Adiante.[6]
The CXTG-IN union in the health care sector was the Sindicato Galego da Sanidade-CXTG (SGS-CXTG).[7] The metal workers' union of CXTG was Sindicato Galego do Metal.
The teachers' union of CXTG-IN was called Sindicato Galego do Ensino ea Investigación/CXTG (SGEI-CXTG).[8] SGEI-CXTG won around 10% of the votes in the teachers' union elections of 1987.[9] In 1987 the CXTG teachers' union launched a 'Permanent Seminary for Education for Peace', which later became an independent institution.[10] The Permanent Seminary published didactic materials on human rights, marginalization and eco-pacifism. Through the Permanent Seminary, the CXTG sought to promote non-sexist education.[11]
On April 2, 1990 CXTG-IN and INTG signed a cooperation treaty.[12] [13]
INTG and CXTG contested the 1990 trade union elections jointly, winning 3,527 delegates (23.2% of the representative seats in Galicia).[4] On January 18, 1992 CXTG held an extraordinary congress in Narón, with the slogan 'Forward on the path of unity'.[14] The third congress of CXTG was held in Vigo January 16–17, 1993, with the slogan 'Build the future of trade unionism'.[15]
In March 1994 the two trade union centres merged at a founding congress of Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG).[13] The CXTG-IN leader Acuña became the founding general secretary of the new union.[1]
SGM-CXTG merged with the INTG metal workers' union (FTM), forming CIG-METAL.[16]
