Chongqing Federation of Trade Unions

The CFTU oversees 40 district-level unions, 1,113 grassroots unions, and 11 industrial unions, covering sectors such as education, defense, and transportation. Its core responsibilities include safeguarding workers' rights, mediating labor disputes, and promoting socialist values among employees.

Since 2015, the CFTU has been a national pilot for union reforms, emphasizing digital engagement through platforms like the "Digital Workers' Home" and expanding grassroots coverage. It also plays a key role in cultural and social governance, managing institutions such as the Chongqing Workers’ Cultural Palace and hosting events like the Chongqing Workers' Art Festival.^[5][6]
