Page "Gleichschaltung" Paragraph 11

# The trade union association ADGB ( Allgemeiner Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund ) was shattered on May 2, 1933 ( the day after Labour Day ), when SA and NSBO units occupied union facilities and ADGB leaders were imprisoned.

Other important associations including trade unions were forced to merge with the German Labor Front ( Deutsche Arbeitsfront — DAF ), to which all workers had to belong.
