The General Confederation of Labor (Spanish: Confederación General del Trabajo, CGT) is a Spanish trade union federation.
The CGT was a result of a split in the anarchist National Confederation of Labor (CNT). In 1979, at the first CNT congress after Spain's transition to democracy, there was a fundamental disagreement concerning union elections. Such elections allow Spanish workers to elect union delegates to factory committees every four years. Some deemed this a renewal of anarcho-syndicalism, but the more orthodox in the organization considered such elections a "government intervention in labor–capital relations". Moreover, this would involve receiving state funding.[2] The two factions split and there were two CNTs. They fought over ownership of the name CNT. In 1989, the orthodox CNT prevailed in court and the renovators took the name CGT.[3]
CGT는 이후 1989년부터 조합원 선거에 참여해 CCOO, UGT, CSIF에 이어 4번째로 많은 표를 얻었다. 2018년 현재 10만 명의 회원을 보유하고 있다.[4]
