International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU)
ICFTU is a Confederation of national trade union centres, each of which links together the trade unions of that particular country. Membership is open to bona fide trade union organisations, that are independent of outside influence, and have a democratic structure.
ICFTU has five main priorities, which are: employment and international labour standards; tackling the multinationals; trade union rights; equality, women, race and migrants; and trade union organisation and recruitment.
The ICFTU cooperates closely with the International Labour Organisation and has consultative status with the United Nations' Economic and Social Council and with specialised agencies such as UNESCO, FAO, etc. It maintains contacts with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organisation and has offices in Geneva, New York and Washington.
