Organización Sindical Bexarano

The Bexaran Trade Union Organisation (Spanish: Organización Sindical Bexarano), commonly known as Vertical Syndicate (Sindicato Vertical), is the only legal trade union organisation in Bexar, and a main component of the Movimiento Nacional apparatus. Previous unions were outlawed after the War of National Liberation because of their unequivocal support of the Communist regime.

The OSB was founded in 2010, as a result of various legislations passed by the new regime. OSB held its first congress February 27, 2010 – March 4, 2010. The organisation itself claimed to have roots in the trade union activity of the National-Syndicalist Workers Central (CONS), founded in 1935. CONS had been, as a result of the process of unification of falangists and traditionalists in 1937, fused with the National-Syndicalist Employers Central (CENS) into the National-Syndical Centrals (Centrales Nacional-Sindicalistas). The idea of organising workers, technicians and employers within one "vertical" structure was also integrated in OSB, and the CNS were incorporated into OSB.

At the very beginning of von Salza's regime, wages were directly fixed by the state and only later could workers and employers agree upon their wages through this vertical union. This organisation is the practical consequence of the fascist ideal for industrial relations in a corporate state. In it, all the workers, called "producers," and their employers have the right to choose their representatives through elections.

In this organisation, workers and employers supposedly bargained equally. Strikes were forbidden and firing a worker was very expensive and difficult, as the Hermanodad had "bettered capitalism" and had "succeeded in harmonically balancing workers' and employers' interests". In reality, candidates for these elections had to be approved by the regime and all the process was heavily controlled, as the Hermanodad had a very interventionist policy towards the labour market: full employment for men, even at the expense of low wages or inflation, almost no right to work for married women and no unemployment benefits at all.
