The Union of Textiles, Chemicals and Paper (German: Gewerkschaft Textil, Chemie, Papier, GTCP; French: Fédération du personnel du textile, de la chimie et du papier) was a trade union representing workers in various industries in Switzerland.
In 1903, various local unions of dyers, trimmers, weavers and embroiderers formed a loose federation.
It affiliated to the Swiss Trade Union Federation in 1914, although this prompted most of the weavers and embroiderers, not yet working in factories, to leave and form an independent union, rejoining only in 1948.
The bulk of these workers were in the chemical industry, and recruitment was hugely successful, membership reaching 38,648 in 1946, during a period in which the union was involved in several strikes.
[1] After 1947, the union avoided industrial action, and its membership steadily fell.
