Allgemeiner freier Angestelltenbund

Allgemeiner freier Angestelltenbund, or AfA-Bund (English: General Free Federation of Employees) was an amalgamation of various socialist-oriented trade unions of technical and administrative employees in the Weimar Republic. Member organizations encompassed groups as diverse as artists, theater workers, bank clerks, foremen, and technical employees and managers. It was founded in 1920 and was dissolved in on March 30, 1933, just before the newly empowered Nazi regime began crushing the Free Trade Unions.
