 ==Founding conference==
-The first conference took place in Paris from 5 September to 8 October 1945. 56 countries were represented at the meeting which founded a Prague-based federation. [[Walter Citrine]] of the British [[TUC]] was elected as President and [[Louis Saillant]] of the French Communist [[CGT]] was elected as Secretary-General. [[John Brophy]] of the American [[CIO]] defied his federation's President [[Phil Murray, by refusing to take a position as WFTU vice-president because of  Communist influence. The rival [[American Federation of Labor]] boycotted the conference and the WFTU.<ref>Ben Rathbun, ''The Point Man, Irving Brown and the Deadly Post-1945 Struggle for Europe and Africa'', Minerva Press, 1996, pp.125-127.</ref>
