Sudanese Workers' Trade Union Federation


The Sudanese Workers' Trade Union Federation is the sole national trade union center in the Sudan.
The current SWTUF is a government sponsored trade union federation that was re-organized in 1992 from the original SWTUF which, along with all other trade unions, was dissolved by Omar Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir when he seized power in 1989.
ICTUR reports that the leaders of the dissolved SWTUF were allowed to keep their personal freedom but were restricted from continued activity.
