Biography
Early life
Pietro Muro was born on 1 September, 1906, in San Pietro to cabinetmaker Gianluigi Muro (1867-1932) and Annagrazia Muro (1879-1955), as the youngest of three children, and the second son. They lived in the neighbourhood of Mastriano, due to its location near the factory where his father worked.
In 1912, he began attending the Mastriano School. Although Muro was an excellent student, due to his parents' financial situation, after completing his elementary school studies in 1918, Muro was forced to drop out and start working at the same factory as his father, in order to help his family "stay under their roof." These circumstances helped make Muro realise that "the current economic order [was] fundamentally unjust," as combined, he, his brother, and his father, only earned "a few florins a week," which was barely enough to stay at their home.
Thus, in 1920, he became interested in affiliating the factory's workers with a trade union, learning about the concept from a close friend of his who worked as a sharecropper. Intrigued, he helped organise the factory's workers to form a union branch, which voted to join the Sugar Estates and Factory Workers Union in 1921.
Union involvement
By 1922, Pietro Muro became involved in the union branch of the Sugar Estates and Factory Workers Union, which operated at the factory that his family worked at. As Muro helped organise the factory's workers, he became the union representative at the factory by a vote of the workers.
Pietro Muro sought to negotiate with the executives regarding payment of workers, with Muro advocating an increase of the minimum wage from 5 florin per day to 25 florin per day. After several months of negotiations, Muro was able to persuade the owners to pay the workers a minimum wage of ₣12.50 per day, which was hailed as a success by the union, as well as the workers.
However, as the decade wore on, Pietro Muro found it "difficult" to convince companies and his own union to make "meaningful improvements" to the conditions of workers at the factory. This was exacerbated by the Great War, and the Gaullican occupation of the Assimas, alongside neighbouring Estmerish colony of Imagua, which saw labour rights restricted in the name of the "war effort."
Despite this situation, Pietro Muro continued gaining prominence in the Sugar Estates and Factory Workers Union, and in 1935, he became the leader of the union branch serving the factories in Mastriano. As one of the main union leaders in the area, Pietro Muro became noted for his heavy efforts to assert union authority, much to the chagrin of many leaders, who were supportive of cooperating with the colonial government.
In 1940, when the Etrurian government passed legislation requiring all colonial trade unions to be merged into the TBD Trade Union, Pietro Muro refused to allow the workers be "chained to a toothless trade union." As a consequence, Pietro Muro was arrested and charged on unfair labour practices, and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. He would be released after the invasion of the Assimas by Estmerish and Imaguan forces in 1944, and would become the Secretary-General of the Sugar Estates and Factory Workers Union.
As Secretary-General, he repudiated the merger with the TBD Union, and declared that the Sugar Estates and Factory Workers Union would fight for "fair representation" and for "justice, liberty, and prosperity" for the workers. He urged branch unions to "force the hand of collaborationists" and ensure that living standards of the Assiman workers would improve. This helped win him substantial support, with some at this time advocating for Muro to advocate for Assiman independence from Etruria. However, Pietro Muro sought to keep the union away from the discussions, saying that "our duty, first and foremost, is to repay the debt incurred by our passivity, our inaction: once we have addressed all that, can we discuss the fate of these islands."
After the end of the Solarian War in 1946, the Assimas were officially annexed. Recognizing the position of the Assimas as being a "mere parish," and wishing to "build closer relations with the unions on the other side [of the Pilastri Straits]," Pietro Muro began negotiations to make the Sugar Estates and Factory Workers Union a regional branch of the Union of Sharecroppers and Manufacturing Workers. After several months of discussions, Pietro Muro held a vote among the union membership, with 51.4% of the members voting in favour of the agreement.

During this period, Pietro Muro built up ties with both the national union, and with the Democratic Labour Party, which the national Union of Sharecroppers and Manufacturing Workers was a part of.
