Interesting poster which is a beautiful example of the slight liberation of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia in the 1960s – jazz concert, where jazz itself was a symbol of the free and western world. In August 1968, after the beginning of the occupation by the Warsaw Pact troops, the regime was again very strict and a similar concert would be a rather rare exception. The Revolutionary Trade Union Movement (ROH) was a monopoly trade union organization that was also the most mass social organization in socialist Czechoslovakia. In many cases, employee membership in the ROH was practically mandatory and automatic. At that time, trade unions, like party cells of the Communist Party of the Czech Republic, also took part in the evaluation of workers in various situations, could vouch for them in criminal proceedings, etc. Extraordinary all-trade convention on 2.3. March 1990 decided on the abolition of the ROH and the transfer of powers and property to the successor organizations. The newly constituted unions united in the Czechoslovak Confederation of Trade Unions and its Czech-Moravian Chamber of Trade Unions, which still covers trade unions in the Czech Republic (Wiki).
