Congress, which became affiliated to this Federation.

This includes assisting affiliates with collective bargaining, organizing unorganized workers, and ensuring all workers can benefit from union membership regardless of race, gender, or national origin. The Federation also seeks to secure legislation that safeguards worker rights, promotes free collective bargaining, and protects democratic institutions. It works to promote peace and freedom internationally and supports the use of union-made goods and services. The Federation is committed to protecting the integrity of the labour movement from corruption, preventing organizational conflicts, and maintaining its political independence while encouraging workers to participate fully in civic life.
