The Congolese Trade Union Confederation (''Confédération syndicale congolaise'', CSC) is a
trade union centre in Republic of the Congo.
Seeking greater political reform and the establishment of multiparty politics, the CSC unsuccessfully sought its independence from the ruling
Congolese Labour Party
The Congolese Party of Labour (french: Parti congolais du travail, PCT) is the ruling party of the Republic of the Congo. Founded in 1969 by Marien Ngouabi, it was originally a pro-Soviet, Marxist–Leninist vanguard party which founded the Peo ...
(PCT) in 1990. It led a general strike and protests in September–October 1990, causing the PCT regime to allow the creation of other political parties and leading to the 1991 National Conference.
Jean-Michel Bokamba-Yangouma was the Secretary-General of the CSC from 1974 to 1997. An ally of President
Pascal Lissouba, he fled into exile at the end of the
1997 civil war.
