The MTUC came into existence at a time when the First Emergency was declared against insurgent communist activities. At this critical time, workers had no organisation to look after their interest, protect them and also to represent their views generally. A few union leaders who believed in free democratic trade unionism convened a conference of trade union delegates on 27th and 28th February, 1949.
