The Trade Unions Forum (FZZ) is a national trade union center in Poland. It held its first congress in April 15-16, 2002 in Warsaw, and second in April 26-28, 2006 in Zegrze near Warsaw.
Despite opposition, particularly from the All-Polish Agreement of Trade Unions (OPZZ), the FZZ has secured membership at the Polish Tripartite Commission.
In 2005 during the campaign for parliamentary elections, FZZ tried without success to form an election coalition with the right=wing extremist league "Samoobrona" of Andrzej Lepper.
The membership of FZZ in the European trade union confederation CESI is suspended, as FZZ does not pay its fees and is absent in meetings.
President is W. Siewierski, a former functionary of the communist régime union OPZZ.
