Comoros, an island country has one trade union center, the Confederation of Workers of Comoros (CTTC; French: Confederation des Travailleuses et Travailleurs des Comores) which has 5,000 members and is affiliated to ITUC and OATUU.[1]
History
Comoros became independent from French colonial rule in 1975. The first trade union formed shortly after. The neighboring island Mayotte remains a region of France. No trade union existed on Mayotte island until 1979.[1]
Workers have the right to join trade unions, collectively bargain and take part in strikes.[2] Teachers unions are the most active affiliate of CTTC.[1]
