Union syndicale des travailleurs de Tunisie (abbreviated USTT) was a central trade union organisation in Tunisia. Founded in 1946, as the Tunisian branch of the French trade union confederation CGT separated itself from the mother organization. [1] [2] Hassen Saadaoui was the chairman of USTT. [2]

A trade union is an association of workers forming a legal unit or legal personhood, usually called a "bargaining unit", which acts as bargaining agent and legal representative for a unit of employees in all matters of law or right arising from or in the administration of a collective agreement. Labour unions typically fund the formal organization, head office, and legal team functions of the labour union through regular fees or union dues. The delegate staff of the labour union representation in the workforce are made up of workplace volunteers who are appointed by members in democratic elections.
