The Puerto Rican Workers' Central (Spanish: Central Puertorriqueña de Trabajadores, CPT) is a trade union center in Puerto Rico. It is one of the most important non-US-aligned unions in the territory.
History[edit]
In 2010, CPT led a successful picket line at a government center in the barrio of Munillas, prohibiting work from taking place.[2]
In 2017, CPT expressed solidarity with workers at the University of Puerto Rico, who were protesting against massive budget cuts.[3]
CPT is opposed to the PROMESA law and the austerity measures imposed by its Fiscal Control Board.[4]
