The chapter presents the main historical phases which the Greek labour movement has passed through, and how they have influenced employees’ socio-economic formations at work. It offers an analysis of the post-dictatorship era, when indeed labour organisations and trade associations are for the first time free from foreign and domestic agencies of control to ‘accumulate’ on Greece’s post-war development and critically review their role, insofar as national and sectional interests are concerned. There is a scarcity of systematic studies that have dealt with the distinctive socio-political development of Greece. Socio-cultural studies on the ways in which the Greek community related to either the economic activity or the political structure of the country are almost absent. The nature of economic activity, the interventions of the western powers, and the volume and characteristics of the political activity, prohibited until 1920’s any major ideological and social identification of workers at the place of work, or at a national level.
