For.U.M. is a confederation of Maltese Trade Unions incorporating more than 16,000 members representing workers from a variety of professions and trades.
For.U.M. was set up in 2004. The Confederation immediately started contributing on a national scale when it was involved in discussions with the Government of Malta and other Unions on a way forward to reach an agreement on a national social pact. The Unions forming For.U.M. represent workers from all the spectrum of the Maltese society.
Today, For.U.M. has 14 Union affiliates with a total membership of more than 16,000 workers from different professions and spheres. The Unions affiliated to the For.U.M. are AAE, ALPA, EPOU, ESSU, MUMN, MUT, UCC, UHBC, UMASA, UPAP, UPISP, UTAC, UWSCP and MAPE. More information about each affiliate HERE.
This Confederation actively participates in all national debates and activities that concern the conditions and rights of workers and their families.
For.U.M. is affiliated to E.T.U.C. (European Trade Union Confederation) and is a member of the Malta Council for Economic and Social Development (MCESD) and the Malta-EU Steering and Action Committee (MEUSAC).
