The Gewerkschaft Christlicher Saarbergleute appealed to its comrades to trust in the representatives of the GCS for the then upcoming works council elections. Their election poster contains information on the different conditions experienced by miners in the Ruhr area and the Saar region. They accuse the IG Bergbau und Energie of a lack of commitment and advocacy for the interests of the Saar miners that were at a disadvantage compared to Ruhr workers in terms of pay.
