EATUC Affiliates

The East African Trade Union Confederation (EATUC), established in 1988, serves as a unifying body for national trade union federations across the East African region. Its affiliates represent the collective voice of workers in their respective countries, fostering regional cooperation and advocating for workers’ rights and interests.

EATUC’s founding members include the following organizations:

  • Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU-K) – Kenya
  • National Organization of Trade Unions (NOTU) – Uganda
  • Zanzibar Trade Union Congress (ZATUC)
  • Trade Union Congress of Tanzania (TUCTA)

With the formal inclusion of Rwanda and Burundi into the East African Community (EAC) in July 2007, EATUC expanded its membership to include:

  • Confédération des Syndicats du Burundi (COSYBU) – Burundi
  • Centrale des Syndicats des Travailleurs du Rwanda (CESTRAR) – Rwanda

EATUC also holds observer status within the EAC structure, enabling it to actively contribute to regional policy discussions that impact the labor sector, ensuring workers’ concerns are addressed at a broader policy level. Through its affiliates, EATUC continues to champion labor rights, promote social dialogue, and enhance regional integration within the framework of the EAC.
