The Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council is the third largest trade union federation in Hong Kong , after the Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) and pro-Beijing Federation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Labour Unions (FLU). It is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation .

HKTUC has been pro-Kuomintang , one of the main political parties of the Republic of China , since its establishment in 1948 and has maintained a close relationship with the party. ^[1] It was the biggest rival to the leftist trade unions FTU and was seen as a rightist union. The former leader of the union, Pang Chun-hoi was the Legislative Council member for the Labour constituency from 1985 to 1995, while another seat of the two was occupied by the FTU leader Tam Yiu-chung before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997.
