Franco

These unions where able to give the people of Spain some level of job security as a system of employment tribunals was also used for such thing as dissolving any disputes within the workplace. We can see from this law that Franco was trying to create equality within the place of work so that no one was treated any differently to anyone else. By creating this law it also conveys the fact that Franco did want Spain to be a prosperous country and did want the countries people to have some involvement with that. .
             In the 1940's the regime was seen from the outside world to being totally isolated from the rest of the world and in addition to living in an entirely different manner to the rest of the world. One of the reasons for this in the early part of the decade was the reality that the most of the rest of the world where at some point or another involved with World War 2. In an attempt to attain self-sufficiency the regime involved itself with the economy on a massive scale. "Movements of persons both in and out of the country was strictly controlled"(Ross 2000:98) which in reality meant that citizens of Spain had lost some of the right to control their own lives, they were not even allowed to make their own decisions without the government intervening. .
             Throughout the early part of this decade fatalities from starvation and malnutrition where very common, famine was only just narrowly avoided by shipments of wheat sent from Argentina, which was under the rule of another dictator, Juan Peron. The conditions in the inner cities in Spain resembled those of a modern day third world country "Spain experienced a phenomenon unparalleled in modern Europe: a return to the land" (Ross 2000:98). This continues the idea of Spain being completely different to the rest of the world and displays the thought that instead of moving forward Spain seems to be moving back to the past. At this point in time most of the countries in Europe had found that to earn a substantial amount of income to support their families most people had to move to industrial areas to do this.
