The Third All Russian Conference of Trade Unions(Третья Всероссийская конференция профессиональных союзов) was the first national conference of trade unions held in Russia following the February Revolution.
These delegates were 73 Bolsheviks, 36 Mensheviks, 6 Menshevik Internationalists, 11 Bundists, 31 non-fractional Social Democrats, 25 Social Revolutionaries and 7 delegates of no known party affiliation.
V. P. Grinevich, a Menshevik started the discussion on the role of the trade unions, which he characterised as conducting the economic struggle of the working class, depicting the strike as the principal weapon while under capitalism.
He argued that they should not involve themselves in the organisation of production, a role he allocated to the state.
Nikolai Glebov-Avilov presented the Bolshevik positions at this conference: The All-Russian Metalworkers Union played a prominent role at the conference.
