On 10 April 1887 a few dozen bakery employees in Lima got together to launch the ‘Star of Peru’ (Estrella del Peru) Bakery Workers’ Society (SOPEP: Sociedad de Obreros Panaderos Estrella del Perú), affiliating to the Universal Union Artisans’ Confederation as federated branch No 9.
The Federación de Obreros Panaderos Estrella del Peru has as its purpose the encouragement of the spirit of solidarity between all comrades in the bakery trade and betterment of their moral and material circumstances by means of savings, resistance, enlightenment and mutual aid.
