Decree 1,637 provided a legal framework for professional unions and associations of workers and employers. It opened one route for collective organization, but legal recognition did not erase state and employer power or guarantee equal access to union life. Post-abolition Black workers organized within a labor market shaped by racial discrimination and immigration policy; the decree itself did not establish a separate Black workers’ organization.
