The Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions-CCCTU is the largest and only legal agglomeration of trade unions and labor syndicates in the Republic of Corumm. It replaced the disestablished All-Corummese Workers Central Union, which lost official recognition in 1993 and its remnants were fully absorbed by the new confederation. Civil servants are barred from joining the CCCTU.
It is one of the great pillars of support of the Party of Corummese Democrats. By keeping wages stable, workers pliant and subdued and its sectorial branches providing disciplined and technically skilled workers to the national economy, the Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions has become an immovable feature of Corummese life. Its national directorate is located in the city of Rungras, 20km to the east of Mirzak.
History
After a failed attempt to impose new pro-PCD leadership at the top of the All-Corummese Workers Central Union(ACWCU), the Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions was formed in 1992 as an effort to undermine the former and render it irrelevant as a political force. With the connivance and support from the newly elected Linge Chen government, the mining magnate and PCD member Frede Gorong conducted suspect assembly meetings and registered the CCCTU with the Ministry of Labor, enrolling thousands of his workers into the new organization.
The government began a campaign of pressure and intimidation on the ACWCU and its affiliate organizations. Ousting leaders by setting up bogus assemblies or outright jailing them on charges of industrial wrecking or corruption, the ACWCU was quickly starved of support and its affiliated trade and labor unions began to defect en masse to the CCCTU. By late 1993 with their ranks depleted and with their office building under threat of seizure by fiscal authorities, the ACWCU acquiesced to the imposition of a new leader, who then proceeded to liquidate the union and turn over its remaining assets to the CCCTU.
Attempts in later years to form new labor organizations outside of the CCCTU have been routinelly crushed, with founding assemblies raided by the police.
Criticism
The Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions is criticized by outside observers as not being truly motivated by the protection of the rights and needs of its worker affiliates and instead being a willing partner and beneficiary of the crony capitalism that is rampant in the Corummese economy. Working hand in glove with corporations and the government to keep bargaining rights to a minimum and maintain wages barely above inflation. The CCCTU is also criticized for the absolute lack of internal democracy and its ingrained systems of patronage; labor bosses lack any real accountability to the workers.
Another criticism is the protection it lends to the National Union of Road Transport Workers(NURTW), with widespread reports that many of its members engage in extortion, racketeering and kidnapping. In many cities across Corumm, members of the NURTW serve as thugs for the Party and as minor criminal bosses.
