German Confederation of Trade Unions (DGB)

The German Confederation of Trade Unions (DGB) is the main umbrella organization representing workers' interests in Germany. Founded in 1949, it unites various individual trade unions across different industries, advocating for workers’ rights, fair wages, better working conditions, and social justice. The DGB works with employers, government bodies, and society to influence policies, increase labor standards, and promote social dialogue. It serves as a collective voice for employees, ensuring their concerns are considered in economic and political decision-making, thus supporting a fair and balanced labor market in Germany.
