The Inner Mongolia Federation of Trade Unions, or Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Federation of Trade Unions (IMARFTU; Chinese: 内蒙古自治区总工会), founded in May 1949 in Hohhot, is a provincial branch of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU).
[1] It originated from the Hulunbuir Coal Miners' Unions in the 1920s, resisting Japanese colonial mining operations during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
[2] In post-1949, it managed state-owned industries like the Baotou Iron and Steel Group in 1954 and grassland infrastructure projects.
[3] In post-2000, the IMARFTU promoted labor transitions from coal to green energy, training workers for the Kubuqi Desert Solar Farms and Xilingol Wind Power Bases.
