Global Union Federations
Global Union Federations (GUFs) are international organizations that unite trade unions from various countries, focusing on specific sectors or industries. They aim to promote workers' rights, improve working conditions, and advocate for social justice on a global scale. GUFs facilitate cooperation among unions, enabling them to share resources, strategies, and best practices.
These federations play a crucial role in addressing transnational issues, such as labor standards and corporate accountability. By collaborating with other organizations, including International Labour Organization (ILO) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), GUFs work to influence policies that affect workers worldwide, ensuring their voices are heard in global discussions.
