General Union of Central African Workers

The Union of Central African Workers, created in 1964, is a trade union centre in the Central African Republic. In 1981, its activity was suspended by David Dacko's government. In place of it government-backed Confederation of Central African Workers was established, which didn't stand up for the rights of workers in practice.
