The earliest workers' associations presented themselves as mutual societies to circumvent the Le Chapelier Act, which prohibited any organization of workers. Especially before any social legislation was enacted, mutual societies played a crucial role for workers. Along with the growth of the entire socialist movement, the centralization of smaller mutual funds led to an ever-increasing range of services. The opening of the Volkskliniek (People's Clinic) in Ghent in 1928 was a prime example of this.
