There are five recognized trade union confederations in Chad as of 2021:[1]
- Union of Trade Unions of Chad (UST; Union des Syndicats du Tchad)
- Free Confederation of Chadian Workers (CLTT; Confédération Libre des Travailleurs du Tchad)
- Confederation of Trade Unions of Chad (CST; Confédération de Syndicat du Tchad)
- Trade Union Confederation of Workers of Chad (CSTT; Confédération Syndicale des Travailleurs du Tchad)
- Independent Confederation of Trade Unions of Chad (CIST; Confédération Indépendante des Syndicats du Tchad)
The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) recognizes two affiliates, Free Confederation of Chadian Workers and Union of Trade Unions of Chad. ITUC recently rejected an affiliation request from the Confederation of Trade Unions of Chad, but remains open to the Independent Confederation of Trade Unions of Chad.[1]
The UST is seen by the UN Human Rights Committee as the most representative union in its 2013 report.[1]
