The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC; (フランス語:Confédération syndicale internationale (CSI)); (ドイツ語:Internationaler Gewerkschaftsbund (IGB))) is the world's largest trade union federation. It was formed on November 1, 2006 out of the merger of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) and the World Confederation of Labour (WCL). The Founding Congress of the ITUC was held in Vienna and was preceded by the dissolution congresses of both the ICFTU and the WCL. The ITUC represents 176 million workers through its 328 affiliated organisations within 162 countries and territories. Sharan Burrow is the current General Secretary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=ITUC )〕 The ITUC traces its origins back to the First International (also known as the International Workingmen's Association) and in 2014 will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the International Working Men's Association at its own world congress to be held in Berlin . Also in 2014, the ITUC debuted the Global Rights Index, which ranks nations on 97 metrics pertaining to workers' rights, such as freedom from violent conditions and the right to strike and unionize.〔Kevin Short (28 May 2014). (The Worst Places On The Planet To Be A Worker ). ''The Huffington Post.'' Retrieved 29 May 2014; see also: (ITUC Global Rights Index: The world's worst countries for workers ).〕 The ITUC is identified as a rival and opponent of the World Federation of Trade Unions, the latter being historically identified as more militant and linked to the international communist movement. ==Inaugural congress 2006== The founding congress of the ITUC was held on 1–3 November 2006 in Vienna, Austria. The first day of the congress saw the formal creation of the ITUC followed by an address〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=ILO Online press room )〕 by Juan Somavia, the Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Day two included Pascal Lamy, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) responding to panel discussions on the impact of globalization, including the topics "Cohesion and chaos - the global institutions" and "Global unions - global companies". Technical difficulties limited Lamy's satellite video link participation. Leadership and officers were elected on the final day of the congress. Guy Ryder, the former general secretary of the ICFTU, was elected to the same position in the new organization.〔https://en.m.wikinews.org/wiki/Growing_concern_over_the_Leadership_of_the_International_Trade_Union_Confederation〕 Sharan Burrow was elected president. A Governing Council was established, with 70 elected members, and 8 additional seats reserved for youth and women’s representatives. A Council of Global Unions was also formed on the final day of the congress. It was established jointly with ten global union federations and the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC). "The Council will enable us to mobilize global membership around political and strategic initiatives and actions in order to confront global forces that work against the interests of working people and families." − Guy Ryder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】) "> work=ITUC Online )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Trade Union Confederation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
