The ICFTU Inter American Regional Organisation of Workers (Шаблон:Lang-es, ORIT) was the regional organization of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) for the Americas.

The federation was formed in 1951, and described its objective as being to work for independent, autonomous, democratic unions throughout the Americas. The ICFTU merged with the World Confederation of Labor in 2006, and in 2008, ORIT merged with the WCL's former regional organisation for the Americas, the Latin American Confederation of Workers, to form the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas.[1]

As of 2005, the organization had 65 affiliated or fraternal organizations, in 29 countries, representing 50 million workers.[2]

Criticism

In June 2006 an American labor magazine, Labor Notes, documented the role that the ORIT, ICFTU, ILO, and the AFL-CIO played in supporting elements opposed to the government of Haitian leader Aristide. ORIT is alleged to have ignored massive labor persecution against public sector workers and trade unionist supporters of the ousted government throughout 2004, 2005, and 2006.[3]
