What Arab Trade Union Confederation-ATUC does

The Arab Trade Union Confederation (ATUC) is a regional non-profit trade union confederation headquartered in Amman, Jordan, representing Arab trade union organizations affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). Its mission is to establish a democratic and dynamic trade union framework that adapts to transformations in labor markets across the Arab region, operating across 17+ Arab countries including Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, and Yemen.

ATUC's core products are digital. The Obsor Observatory is a digital and interactive platform that monitors and analyzes violations of trade union rights and freedoms across Arab countries, modeled on the ITUC Global Rights Index and tailored to regional legal, political, and socio-economic realities; it underpins annual publications including the Global Rights Index 2025 and the Annual Report on Violations of Trade Union Rights and Freedoms in the Arab Region. The ATUC e-Learning Platform delivers 11 video-based courses with case-based learning, knowledge tests, and certificates, covering organizing, social dialogue, collective bargaining, occupational safety, gender equality, just transition, and child labor. A Knowledge Library hosts policy papers, guides, training manuals, and key international and regional publications in Arabic and English. Distribution runs through the website, the e-Learning platform, Obsor, and active social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X), supported by recurring campaigns on workers' rights themes.

ATUC operates as a non-profit membership federation under the ITUC umbrella. There is no commercial pricing model; revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed, and the organization is structured around member-union dues, ITUC support, and grant-style funding typical of regional labor NGOs. Headcount stands at 9 employees, and there are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A, or ownership changes, with parent affiliation to ITUC as a non-profit foundation.
