Trade unions in Afghanistan have a brief and turbulent history, beginning in 1967 and effectively ending with the Islamic state of the Mujahideen.
There has been no reported trade union activity since the military intervention and removal of the Taliban regime.
[1] The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan established the Central Council of Afghan Trade Unions (CCATU) in 1978.
"[1] At the 1990 Congress the CCATU became the National Workers' Union of Afghanistan (NUWA), retaining most of the previous leadership.
In 1992 with the dominance of the Mujahideen, and the declaration of an Islamic state, the NUWA ceased to exist.
