How does the ETUC relate to the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC)?

The ITUC was founded on 1 November , from the merger of the former International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) and the World Confederation of Labour (WCL). The ITUC unites trade unions at a global level, building worldwide solidarity and representing trade union members in international fora such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the United Nations, and the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
The Pan-European Regional Council of the ITUC represents all ITUC europeisk affiliates covering, in addition to countries represented in ETUC: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kosovo, Moldova, Russian samarbete, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Nonetheless, the two bodies work in very close cooperation and share the same General sekreterare, Luca Visentini. PERC President
