Organization Description:

The Andhra Pradesh Vyavasaya Vruthidarula Union (APVVU) is a state-level federation of rural worker unions representing landless laborers, agricultural workers, fisherfolk, and aquaculture workers in Andhra Pradesh. APVVU organizes Dalits, tribals, and women around minimum wages, dignity of labor, land rights, and social security. It negotiates with employers and the government, runs legal aid and literacy programs, and is a recognized voice in state tripartite and welfare board consultations.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: APVVU is one of the few grassroots unions organizing workers in Andhra's coastal economy. Its networks can surface wage theft, unsafe conditions, and forced or trafficked labor; support collective bargaining; and connect workers to government welfare schemes and grievance redressal.
