IG Mining and Energy
The Mining and Energy Industrial Union ( IGBE / IG BE ) was a trade union of the German Trade Union Federation (DGB) based in Bochum .
It was founded in 1946 as the mining industry association for the British zone of occupation . In 1948 the name was changed to IG Bergbau . A year later, the miners of the French zone were annexed. In 1960 the union changed its name to IG Bergbau und Energie .
In the GDR , the Wismut trade unions were founded in 1990 as the successor to the Wismut industrial union (in Crossen ) and mining-energy-water management (in Bernau near Berlin ), which joined the mining and energy union on November 1, 1990. In 1990 it had 331,000 members.
In 1997, IG Bergbau und Energie merged with IG Chemie-Papier-Keramik (IG CPK) and the leather union (GL) to form the new IG Bergbau, Chemie, Energie (IG BCE) .
