Confederation of Workers of Guinea
The Guinean Workers' Confederation, or in its original French name Confédération Nationale des Travailleurs de Guinée (CNTG), is the largest trade union in the West African state of Guinea with 60,000 members . The organization, based in Conakry, is a member of the International Trade Union Confederation .
The union emerged from the Guinean branch of the French Confédération générale du travail (CGT). In 1948, during the French colonial era, the later President of Guinea Ahmed Sékou Touré became the leader of this Guinean part of the CGT. In 1956, when the country became independent, the union got its current name.
Under the increasingly dictatorial President Sekou Touré, the CNTG was the only approved union and agent of the government. In 2000 Rabiatou Serah Diallo became Secretary General of the CNTG. Under her leadership, the old state union has transformed itself in recent years into the main force of Guinean civil society and the spearhead of the movement against the then President Lansana Conté , from whom the unions under the leadership of the CNTG wrested a political agreement in February 2007.
Rabiatou Serah Diallo, chairman of the CNTG, was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of the Interim Government (CNT) under Prime Minister Doré on January 19, 2010 by General Sékouba Konaté .
The CNTG is a member of the International Trade Union Confederation (IGB). In the membership list of the IGB, membership is given as 100,500 (as of November 2017).
