Coalition of Black Trade Unionists
The largest independent voice of Black trade unionists in the country. Building economic, political, and social justice for every working American — and for the Black community on the front lines of the labor movement.
The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU) was founded in 1972 — born in opposition to the Nixon presidency by Black trade unionists who knew the labor movement and the Black freedom movement had to march together.
CBTU draws its membership from 77 international and national unions, with 42 chapters across the United States and Canada. Its influence rests on a simple, powerful fact: 1 in 5 Black workers in America belongs to a labor union.
From the picket lines of Memphis sanitation workers to the federal employee fight against DEI purges — CBTU has been there. As President Melvin says: “Strategize, Organize, and Mobilize.”
