Deutsche Arbeitsfront 
Founded in 1933-05-10, under the leadership of Dr. Robert Ley, the Deutsche Arbeitsfront supplanted labor unions. This arm of the Nazi government comprised 20 million workers. Wages were frozen, strikes prohibited, independent unions banned, and working conditions were controlled by the government.
