The Taiwan Confederation of Trade Unions (TCTU; Chinese: 全國產業總工會) is a national trade union center in Taiwan. It was established in 1997, but did not receive official recognition from the government until May 1, 2000.[1][2]

It is seen as aligned politically with the Democratic Progressive party. It is seen as an alternative to the older, Kuomintang affiliated Chinese Federation of Labor.[3]
