Summary/Abstract: The article characterises the attitude of the largest Polish trade union centres towards the Camp of National Unity (Polish: Obóz Zjednoczenia Narodowego, OZN). The dif-fering opinions on OZN expressed between 1937 and 1939 by representatives of trade union organisations and the actions taken in their consequences were, to a large extent, conditioned by the ideological stance of individual circles. They also resulted from historical backgrounds and the relations of some headquarters with political parties. They were also a consequence of competition for supremacy in the labour movement.
