FSF was formed in 1922, and was affiliated to the Unión Sindical Argentina. However, it was not a consolidation organization until a constutient congress was held in early 1924.[1]

The cadres of the Communist Party of Argentina were active in FSF since its foundation. The party had characterized the main railway union of the time, Unión Ferroviaria, as a yellow union. Until 1927 all FSF general secretaries and joint secretaries were Communist Party cadres; Florindo Moretti, Luis Cechini and José Morales.[1]
However, in 1927 the relations between the Communist Party and USA soured. The communists withdrew from FSF, and joined Unión Ferroviaria instead. After the split, FSF was dissolved.[1]
