A global organization for global challenges

The International Metalworkers’ Federation (IMF) represents the collective interests of 25 million metalworkers from more than 200 unions in 100 countries. Through solidarity across national boundaries we seek to improve metalworkers’ wages, working and living conditions and to ensure that workers’ rights are respected.

We want to ensure that working people share in the wealth generated through sustainable economic growth. We do this by organizing workers, building strong national unions, strengthening collective bargaining, defending workers’ rights, building a counterweight to the power of transnational corporations and fighting for sustainable trade, development and employment.
