TheTunisian General Labour Union (French:Union Générale Tunisienne du Travail,UGTT.Arabic:الاتحاد العام التونسي للشغل) is anational trade union center inTunisia.[1] It has a membership of more than one million and was founded on January 20, 1946.[2][3]

The UGTT is affiliated with theInternational Trade Union Confederation and theArab Trade Union Confederation.[4][5] Author Safwan M. Masri has noted the influence of "notable intellectuals such asTahar Haddad," among other early twentieth-century reformers and thinkers, onthe development of labor power in Tunisia.[6]

In recent years, the UGTT worked together with three other organizations (theTunisian Human Rights League-LTDH, theTunisian Confederation of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts-UTICA and theTunisian Order of Lawyers), collectively labelled theNational Dialogue Quartet, to address the national discord following theJasmine Revolution of 2011. The National Dialogue Quartet was afterward announced as the laureate of the2015 Nobel Peace Prize "for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia".[7]

ScholarJoel Beinin has previously stated that the UGTT is "the single most important reason that Tunisia is a democracy today" (however, this statement was made prior to thecoup of 2021).[8]Safwan Masri contrasts the status of the union in Tunisia with the relatively disempowered labor organizations throughout the rest of the Arab world; in 2017, he observed that "UGTT has historically served as the umbrella organization for social movements in Tunisia, a role that is likely to endure."[9]
