International Union of Hotel, Restaurant and Bar Workers
Warofdreams: /* Leadership */ reduce excessive headings
The '''International Union of Hotel, Restaurant and Bar Workers''' (IUHR) was a [[global union federation]] bringing together trade unions representing hospitality workers.
==History==
In the late 19th- and early 20th-century, the German union of hotel and restaurant workers was by far the strongest in Europe, and it established branches in many other countries, in cities to which German workers had migrated. In 1908, it organised a conference in Berlin which established the international union, with headquarters in the city.<ref name="sassenbach">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
The secretariat ceased operations during [[World War I]], but was re-established in 1920 at a conference in Amsterdam. Its headquarters were in Amsterdam for four years, before returning to Berlin, then moved to [[The Hague]] around the end of the decade. After [[World War II]], it was again re-established, on this occasion based in Stockholm.<ref name="sassenbach" /><ref name="league">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
In its early years, the IUHR was one of the smaller international trade secretariats. By 1925, it had 13 affiliates, with a total of 57,077 members, but it grew rapidly after World War II, and by 1960 its 15 affiliates had a total of 550,000 members. In 1961, it merged into the [[International Union of Food, Drink and Tobacco Workers' Associations]], which renamed itself as the "International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations".<ref name="sassenbach" /><ref name="goldberg">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref name="rutters">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
