Sveriges Arbetares Central Organization
Central Organization of the Workers of Sweden (SAC) is a Swedish , syndicalist union with anarcho-syndicalist roots. It was formed in 1910 by workers who were dissatisfied with the organization and policies of the Swedish trade union confederation LO . After the Second World War, the SAC supported the Federation of Liberal Socialists (FfS) in Germany.
Today SAC consists of local chapters with a high degree of autonomy, but its headquarters are in Stockholm . The highest decision-making body is the Congress, which meets at least every four years. Between the congresses, important questions are decided by a referendum among the members. In addition, there is a directly elected Central Committee and a Congress-elected Working Committee that handles day-to-day business. In 2004 the union had around 7,500 members.
