National trade union center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Union federation)

A national trade union center (or national center or central) is a federation or confederation of trade unions in a country.[1] Nearly every country in the world has a national trade union center, and many have more than one. In some regions, such as the Nordic countries, different centers exist on a sectoral basis, for example, for blue collar workers and professionals.

Examples

[edit]

Many national trade union centers are now members of the International Trade Union Confederation, although some belong to the World Federation of Trade Unions.
