Austrian Trade Union Federation (ÖGB)

The Austrian Trade Union Federation (ÖGB) is the main organization representing workers in Austria. Founded in 1945, it unites various trade unions that advocate for workers' rights, better wages, job security, and improved working conditions. The ÖGB engages in collective bargaining with employers and the government, striving to ensure fair labor practices. It also provides support services for workers, such as legal assistance and training programs. By representing a large number of workers, the ÖGB plays a crucial role in shaping labor policies and promoting social dialogue in Austria.
