The German Confederation of Trade Unions (''Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund'', DGB) is an umbrella organisation (sometimes known as a national trade union center) for eight Germany trade unions, in total representing nearly 8 million workers. It was founded in Munich, October 12, 1949. The DGB coordinates joint demands and activities within the German trade union movement. It represents the member unions in contacts with the government authorities, the political parties and the employers' organisations. However, the umbrella organsation is not directly involved in collective bargaining and does not conclude pay agreements. Union delegates elect committees for 9 districts, 94 regions and the federal centre. The organisation holds a federal congress every four years. The congress sets the framework for trade union policies and elects five persons to serve full-time as a Federal Executive. Together with the presidents of the member unions they constitute the DGB's Federal Presidium. The members of the Federal Presidium, together with the DGB regional presidents and 70 delegates from the unions, form a Federal Council, that meets once a year to make decisions in national issues. The DGB also has a youth organisation, DGB-Jugend. The DGB has its headquarters in Berlin. It is a member of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). ==Affiliates== *IG Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt (Construction, Agriculture, Environment) [http://www.igbau.de Official site] *IG Bergbau, Chemie, Energie (Mining, Chemicals, Energy) [http://www.igbce.de Official site] *Gewerkschaft Erziehung und Wissenschaft (Education and Science) [http://www.gew.de Official site] *IG Metall (Metalworkers) [http://www.igmetall.de Official site] *Gewerkschaft Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (Food, Beverages and Catering) [http://www.ngg.net Official site] *Gewerkschaft der Polizei (Police) [http://www.gdp.de Official site] *TRANSNET (Railway Workers) http://www.transnet.org Official site] *ver.di - Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft (United Services Union) [http://www.verdi.de Official site] == See also == *List of labor unions ==External link== *[http://www.dgb.de/ German Confederation of Trade Unions] - Official site German labor unions National federations of trade unions
