Previsió Obrera

Another example of the importance of Sant Andreu's association network at the start of the 20th century. It helped local workers with clinics, benefits and pensions.

Previsió Obrera was set up in 1905 on Carrer Balari i Jovany in a building that is still standing today. Previsió Obrera was created to end the difficult situation of workers in Sant Andreu and La Sagrera who had no financial support once they retired. The workers paid membership fees to ensure medical services, old-age pensions and benefits in the case of disability, illness or death. Previsió Obrera was one of the most important cooperatives in Sant Andreu.
