2016VHTL (Gewerkschaft Verkauf Handel Transport Lebensmittel)
FCTA (Fédération
du commerce, des transports et de l'alimentation)
FCTA (Federazione svizzera
dei lavoratori del commercio, dei trasporti e dell'alimentazione)
(= Trade
Union Commerce Transport Food)
The VHTL/FCTA was founded in 1915 and
adopted its later name in 1982. In 2004, it merged with SMUV/FTMH/FMLO, unia,
GBI/SIB/SEI and "actions" to form the new trade union "Unia". It was active in
commerce, food and transport.
One flag used was divided diagonally white
over orange over red, with the abbreviations in two languages (VHTL and FCTA) in
black all over; the flag was usually displayed vertically, i.e. rotated by 90
degrees [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].

Another flag showed all the elements on both sides of a rather
transparent flag, so that the elements shone through; the elements appeared in
brown on white; on the respective reverse these appeared in light violet; the
elements were a brown circle in the center, the inscriptions "FCTA" and "VHTL"
and "Gewerkschaft Syndicat" [1,8,9].

A simple red flag only with letters
"VHTL" (outlined white) was used by the Zürich cantonal branch [10].
