The Commonwealth of Dominica is set to achieve a significant milestone on September 26, 2025, with the establishment of its first-ever Trade Union Congress (TUC). This groundbreaking initiative, spearheaded by the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU), aims to consolidate the nation’s diverse trade unions under a single representative body. The TUC will focus on advocating for fair wages, safe working conditions, and broader social justice initiatives, marking a transformative step for labor rights in the country. The DPSU emphasized that the creation of the TUC is the culmination of years of discussions and strategic planning, transforming a long-held vision into reality. Since April 3, 2025, four major trade unions—the DPSU, Dominica Association of Teachers (DAT), Dominica Amalgamated Workers Union (DAWU), and Waterfront and Allied Workers Union (WAWU)—have collaborated closely through a dedicated steering committee. This effort has been supported by the International Labour Organization (ILO), which has played a pivotal role in facilitating the establishment of the TUC. The inaugural Congress will be held on September 26, 2025, under the theme “Consolidating Trade Union Power Through Unity and Solidarity.” Mr. Joni T. Musabayana, Director of the ILO, will deliver the keynote address. The DPSU expressed its enthusiasm, stating, ‘Trade Unions stand for decent work, for social justice, and for those who work to be valued and respected. Long live the Trade Union Movement.’
