The Union of Mauritanian Workers (UTM) is a national trade union center in Mauritania. It was formed in 1961, and was the sole trade union center until the 1990's when political reforms lead to the creation of two other centers, the CLTM, and the CGTM.
The UTM is traditionally seen as closely linked to the ruling Democratic and Social Republican Party (PRDS).
The UTM is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation
