Confederation of German Trade Unions

The Confederation of German Trade Unions (DGB) is a major umbrella organization representing German trade unions. Founded in 1949, it advocates for workers' rights, better working conditions, and fair wages across various industries in Germany. The DGB serves to unite different unions, giving them a stronger collective voice in negotiations with employers and the government. It also promotes social justice and employee benefits, playing a vital role in shaping labor policies and ensuring that workers' interests are represented in the political landscape.
