The association aims to preserve and pass on the history and lessons of the Swiss and international labour movement. It seeks to educate its members and the general public on the theory and practice of the Swiss and international labour movement. The association aims to recruit new members who will contribute to the association's work on a voluntary basis. To achieve these goals, the association regularly organises educational events without profit motive and provides its members and the public with materials for individual and collective education. To this end, the association operates a publishing house for the production of its own literature and educational materials.
