Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus

The Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus (Федэрацыя прафсаюзаў Беларусі; Федерация профсоюзов Беларуси) is a trade union centre in Belarus. It has evolved from the Soviet-era official unions. In 1990s, it has been in conflict with the government over issues such as living standards and union interference. However, in the 21st century, the Federation became a pro-government organization, and its true goal changed to protection the power of Alexander Lukashenko, rather than the interests of workers.
