Burma Trade Union Congress
The Burma Trade Union Congress was a central trade union organization in Burma. The BTUC was founded in December 1950 as the trade union wing of the Burma Workers and Peasants Party. BTUC emerged after a split from the Trade Union Congress (Burma). Thakin Lwin, former Minister of Labour, served as the president of BTUC. The BTUC was affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions.
BTUC held its first congress in Rangoon February 9–12, 1951.
