The National Workers’ Union of Venezuela (Spanish: Unión Nacional de Trabajadores de Venezuela UNT) is a federation of labor unions in Venezuela that was founded in 2003. This union was created by supporters of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez to challenge the Workers’ Confederation of Venezuela (CTV) an anti-Chávez union federation that has strong ties with the centrist Democratic Action (AD). Many unions have disaffiliated from the CTV and joined with the UNT.
