The Cambodian Confederation of Unions (CCU) is a national trade union centre in Cambodia. The centre is politically tied to the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) and has been denied official recognition several times in the past. The Cambodian Independent Teachers' Association (CITA) and the Free Trade Union of Workers of the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC) are affiliated with the centre.
The CCU is opposed to the government of Hun Sen and is vocal on a wide range of issues, from workers' rights to corruption and national territory. It does not participate in meetings involving government representatives, even if asked to participate. CCU considers itself to be the only true Cambodian trade union centre.[3]
