The Central Union of Workers (CUT; Spanish: Central Unitaria de Trabajadores) is a trade union centre in Colombia. It was formed in 1986, and in 2002 was the country's largest union federation, with 546,000 members.[1]

ICTUR reports that nearly 800 members of CUT were murdered between 1987 and 1992.[2]

In 2000 a past president of CUT, Luis Eduardo Garzón was awarded the AFL-CIO human rights award.[2]
