Organization Description:

The Confederation of Free Trade Unions of India (C.F.T.U.I.) is a national umbrella of trade unions, federations, associations, and societies representing workers across formal and informal sectors in India. C.F.T.U.I. advocates for democratic trade unionism, workers’ rights, social security, and improved working conditions, and engages with government, employers, and international labor bodies on policy issues. Its affiliates span manufacturing, services, agriculture, and allied sectors, with members in multiple states and linkages to global trade-union networks.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: C.F.T.U.I. and its affiliates can organize workers in processing plants, peeling sheds, and cold chains that handle Indian shrimp, as well as transport and logistics workers linked to the export industry. Its national reach makes it a potential partner for initiatives on freedom of association, grievance mechanisms, and collective bargaining in seafood, and for advocacy on occupational health and migrant-worker rights across shrimp clusters in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Odisha, and Kerala.
