Craft Guilds are associations that share characteristics with labor unions.
Guilds established various rules and standards to regulate their trades and protect their members. These included apprenticeship requirements, ensuring that new members were properly trained before practicing their craft. Guilds also set quality standards for products to maintain their reputation, controlled pricing to prevent undercutting, and regulated working conditions to promote fair labor practices. Additionally, they often enforced ethical conduct among members and provided support during times of hardship.
Craft guilds made items for the merchant guilds while the merchant sold the items.
Among the oldest guilds were those for stone masons and glass makers. But there were guilds of all sorts, and in guild oriented cities, many or most jobs were involved in the guild structure. There were carpenters' guilds and bakers' guilds and cobblers' guilds. There were even guilds that were entirely female, such as the silk guilds of Paris and Cologne. In time, there were also merchant guilds, in addition to craft guilds. Please use the link below for more information.
