Why was there a conflict between Leon Trotsky and Lenin over the conflict between the trade unions and the new Soviet Union?
After Trotsky asserted that there could be no conflict between the trade unions and the government, Lenin sought a "compromise" of sorts between the government and the Mensheviks. He asserted that both positions were in error because a workers state had not yet been created. What this meant of course was the revolution was not complete and trade unions were not yet in compliance with the new social order. Under such circumstances, War Communism was necessary to move toward the workers state.

What did Leon Trotsky claim about the new government and trade unions after the Third Congress of Trade Unions?
According to Trotsky some months after the Third Congress of Trade Unions, it was impossible to have a dispute between the government and trade unions. He declared that the government only protected the workers. Any union that said otherwise was reorganized by the use of military force, thereby eliminating the conflict. Here is a new "Marxism" even though historians cite Trotsky as one of the few true Marxists in the new Soviet regime.
What was a basic belief of Leon Trotsky concerning the relationship of trade unions and the Soviet government?
As early as 1920, Leon Trotsky stood firm on his belief that trade unions and the Soviet government could have conflicting interests. With that being the case as far as Trotsky was concerned, the trade unions needed to be educated on this crucial point. Trotsky saw the problems that workers were having with the Soviet government and to help solve them, he proposed a "shake up" so to speak of unions and union members who disagreed with Trotsky. Here we see how the early beliefs of Trotsky were changed once he and the Bolsheviks came into power. Early on in his career, he pushed for the protection of the workers' trade unions. Later, once in power he reversed his position. In exile, he reverted to his original idea about government suppression of the workers.

What was one crucial dispute that Leon Trotsky had with the Mensheviks in 1920?
During the period of War Communism in the new Soviet Union, Leon Trotsky used the forum of the Third Congress of Trade Unions to justify the military tactics used against industrial workers. He attacked the Menshevik idea that such force and compulsion was counter productive and clearly an anti labor position by the Communists. Trotsky claimed that to move forward with the "revolution" that workers who did not cooperate would face military "justice". The Mensheviks were appalled at this.
