National trade union center

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.
