Tianjin Federation of Trade Unions
The Tianjin Federation of Trade Unions (TFTU; Chinese: 天津市总工会) is the principal labor organization in Tianjin, China, operating under the leadership of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) and the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. Established in August 1925 shortly prior to the Chinese Civil War, it initially organized strikes in textile, printing, and maritime industries to support workers' rights and anti-imperialist movements.[1][better source needed]
History
[edit]The TFTU oversees 16 district-level unions and multiple industrial unions, focusing on labor rights mediation, vocational training, and welfare programs. Notable initiatives include the "Love of Free Trade Zone" platform, launched in 2021 to address social challenges for single youth through digital matchmaking services, and annual campaigns like "Four Seasons Assistance" to support low-income families. It also promotes international cooperation, participating in events such as the China-European Business Forum to enhance labor and trade dialogues.[2][3]
It received the national "People's Satisfactory Civil Service Collective" award in 2022.[4]
