Association of Trade Unions

The Association of Trade Unions (Polish: Zrzeszenie Związków Zawodowych, ZZZ) was a national trade union federation in Poland.

The federation was founded in 1945. It claimed 4,000,000 members by 1956,^[1] and 12,000,000 in 1980.^[2] It was closely linked with the Polish United Workers' Party, although temporarily achieved some autonomy in 1956.^[3]

In 1980, Solidarity was established as an independent trade union. It proved highly popular; the ZZZ lost most of its membership, and was dissolved in December.^[2] Its assets were later passed to the new All-Poland Alliance of Trade Unions.^[4]
