History
editThe federation was founded in November 1953, when the International Federation of Christian Post, Telegraph and Telephone Workers merged with the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions, at a meeting in Paris. Initially named the International Federation of Christian Staff Unions, Utilities and Post, Telegraph and Telephone Workers, it adopted its final name in 1966.[1]
In 1963, the federation founded a section for teachers' unions, which in 1974 split away as the independent World Confederation of Teachers.[3]
By 1979, INFEDOP claimed that its affiliates had a total of 3,500,000 members.[2]
