The CGTG brings together trade unions, social movements and cooperatives and was created in 1987. It represents more than 61,000 workers, dispersed in different federations and sectors of the country. The Confederation is addressed to all workers: men and women, young and retired, in the formal and informal economy, self-employed, small producers, etc. In addition to its trade union action (awareness-raising, defence of rights, legal assistance), the CGTG contributes to the creation of social security for the most vulnerable (mutual funds, medical consultations) and has set up pharmacies in 12 villages. Finally, members can obtain micro-credits, for example to open their own business. 

Born in 1985 as a result of a re-articulating effort of the Guatemalan trade union and popular movement, it is a trade union centre with a national presence, which integrates trade unions of workers in the branches of industry, services, agriculture, self-employment and independent peasants. It also provides legal advice and accompaniment services, as well as access to social protection through social economy strategies. 

Established on 30 April 1983, it has approximately 30,000 members in 89 trade unions and four federations, committed to the defence of labour and trade union rights, and provides support services and legal advice to formal and informal workers, access to social protection through social economy strategies.  

The Movimiento de los Trabajadores y Campesinos was created in 1997, initially to defend coffee producers in the San Marcos region, one of the poorest in Guatemala. The MTC also pays special attention to migrants, youth and women. Its fields of action are decent work, training, social protection, labour rights and indigenous rights. The MTC fights for the rights of peasants to improve their livelihoods and well-being by means of training and education, and by promoting cooperatives for access to credit and land. 

This movement takes in street children and young people, mainly in marginalised areas of the capital. The organisation has existed since 1994 and was founded by 4 women who lived on the streets. MOJOCA provides support to about 400 girls, boys and children, and has helped hundreds of them to leave the streets and integrate into society, promoting and defending the human and labour rights of young people in precarious conditions, providing training and/or skills training to facilitate their insertion into society and accessing real opportunities for decent work.

The JOC Guatemala is a youth organisation created in 2003 that defends the rights of young people, in particular their labour rights. It is a space where young people organise themselves to fight for decent living conditions, to find the deeper meaning of their existence and to contribute to a fairer and more humane world.
