Staviteľský robotník

Staviteľský Robotník ("The Construction Worker") was a Slovak language biweekly newspaper published from Budapest by the Hungarian Construction Workers Union.[1][2] It was the first Slovak-language trade union newspaper; the Hungarian Construction Workers Union created the paper due to its substantial Slovak membership.[1][3] Its first issue was published on September 1, 1903, and subsequent publication was sporadic.[1] At the time of its founding, the newspaper was published in 1,000 copies.[1] It was a Slovak language version of the Hungarian language publication Épitömunkás.[4]

Matej Šuňavec [sk] was behind the initiative to launch the publication, and was one of its editors.[5][6] Ludwig Belényesi was the chief editor of the newspaper.[7][8] Sándor Garbai was the publisher of the newspaper.[7] Staviteľský robotník frequently praised the struggle of the Russian proletariat.[9]

It was printed at the Világosság Printing House.[7] Subscriptions were priced at 4.80 Austro-Hungarian krone.[7] The publication of the newspaper ended in 1907.[2]
