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 defected 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. | 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.

The Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions is criticized by outside observers as not being truly motivated | The Central Confederation of Corummese Trade Unions is criticized by outside observers as not being truly motivated to protect 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 keep wages barely above inflation and with labor bosses lacking any real accountability. | ||
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. | 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.
