All-China Federation of Trade Unions

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) is China's largest national trade union organization, overseeing workers’ interests across various industries. It operates under the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party and aims to represent employees, improve working conditions, and protect workers' rights. Unlike independent unions in other countries, the ACFTU functions as a part of the state structure, emphasizing harmony between labor and government. While it provides some worker support, its role is primarily to align labor activities with government policies and national development goals.
