The Workers Central Union of Cuba (Spanish: Central de Trabajadores de Cuba, CTC) is the trade union federation in Cuba. It originated as the Confederación de Trabajadores de Cuba (Confederation of Cuban Workers) in 1939 and changed its name to the Central Union of Cuban Workers in 1961.[1]
The CTC unites 19 sectoral unions, organised in more than 81,000 workplaces, with elected municipal, provincial and national committees for each union, with all Cuban workers belonging to this trade union federation.[2][3][4][5] The CTC also has a weekly newspaper, Trabajadores.[6][7][8]
