Autorica u članku uspoređuje djelovanje dvaju politi č ara koje su se istaknule u organizaciji hrvatskoga radni č kog pokreta i sindikata, napose tijekom monarhističke Jugoslavije. Josip Cazi je bio komunistički orijentiran, a Josip Beker je pripadao socijaldemokratima. Prvi je zagovarao revoluciju, a drugi reformu društva. Obojica su otpočetka bili vrlo aktivni u Slavoniji. Tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata prvi je bio član partizanskog pokreta, a drugi je zbog antifašističkog držanja ostao gotovo čitavo ratno vrijeme u zatvoru. Cazi je nakon 1945. napravio značajnu karijeru, dok je Beker živio na margini društvenih zbivanja.In this article, the author compares the work of two individuals who left a great impression on the organization of the Croatian workers\u27 movement and unions from 1918 to the 1980s.
