Union del Trabajo de Filipinas was a trade union confederation in the Philippines. It was formed, with support of the U.S. administration of William H. Taft, as a substitute for the defunct Union Obrera Democratica Filipina. UTF was modelled after the American Federation of Labor, and represented a much more moderate political line than its predecessor.[1] Lope. K. Santos, head of the union at the Katubusan Cigar and Cigarette Factory, was the president of UTF.[1][2] Political rivalries led to the dissolution of UTF in 1907.[2]
