Association of Trade Unions (Savez sindikata Jugoslavije, SSJ)

by Željko Heimer

The flag of the Association of the Trade Unions was red with the golden emblem of the Association, a pentagon with a cog wheel, wheat sheaves, hammer, sickle and a torch. The cog wheel and hammer represent workers, wheat and sickle peasants and the torch intellectuals and education. The torch also connects the emblem with the arms of Yugoslavia (six torches) and with revolution (as the red colour suggests, too). The pentagram shall recall the five-pointed star of the national flag.
