The Confederation of Mongolian Trade Unions (CMTU) (Mongolian: Монголын Yйлдвэрчний Эвлэлyyдийн Холбоо, Mongolyn Üildverchnii Evlelüüdiin Kholboo) is a national trade union center in Mongolia. It was founded in 1927 as the Central Council of Mongolian Trade Unions.
The CMTU was affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions until 1991. It has since joined the International Trade Union Confederation.
CMTU was previously tied to the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, but in 1990 the link between the party and trade union was broken.
Famous quotes containing the words trade and/or unions:
“We are the trade union for pensioners and children, the trade union for the disabled and the sick ... the trade union for the nation as a whole.”
—Edward Heath (b. 1916)
“When Hitler attacked the Jews ... I was not a Jew, therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the Catholics, I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned. And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists, I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned. Then, Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church—and there was nobody left to be concerned.”
—Martin Niemller (1892–1984)
