The General Federation of Workers (GFW) (Pasdani: فدراسیون عمومی کارگران; Ajmal-e Kârgarân-ye Ettehād; Rahelian: الاتحاد العام للعمال; al-Ittiḥād al-Āmm al-Āmilūna) is the national trade union center of Zorasan. It is one of the largest trade unions in the world, with 86.24 million members as of 2020, drawn from 395,000 trade union organisations under the jursidication of the GFW. The GFW is organised in manner reflecting the federal political system of the country, with eight state federations which hold jursidiction over affiliated trade unions within the state. The GFW is the sole legally mandated and recognised trade union, under which all trade unions and worker's associations must be affiliated to be legally recognised. The GFW is also officially subordinate to the ruling National Renovation Front, leading many to debate whether the GFW is a trade union at all, or rather an organisation dedicated to uniting the one-party state with workers and labourers.
