The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), formed in 1959 by the merger of the Irish Trade Union Congress (founded in 1894) and the Congress of Irish Unions (founded in 1945), is a national trade union centre, the umbrella organisation to which trade unions in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland affiliate.
There are currently 57 unions with membership of the ICTU, representing about 500,000 members[1]. Trade Union members represent 31.5% of the Irish workforce. This is a significant decline since the 55.3% recorded in 1980 and the 38.5% reported in 2003. Members are mainly concentrated in the Public Sector [2].
