The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) is a national trade union centre in Ghana. The origins of the GFL can be traced to the departure of a group of workers from the TUC-affiliated Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union who then founded the Textile, Garment and Leather Employees Union (TGLEU) in 1993. [2] The TGLEU subsequently attempted to affiliate to the TUC, but was refused. [2] In 1996, changes in labour law in Ghana allowed trade union pluralism and in 1998 the GFL was founded. [3] : 519
