The Galician Unions Confederacy (Galician: Confederación Intersindical Galega, CIG) is a trade union in Galicia that was created after the merge of two previous unions: the INTG an the CXTG. It has a galician nationalist and socialist ideology and generally defends a combative labour model, as opposed to the perceived mild tactis of the other two main unions in Galicia, CCOO and the UGT. The union has organized 6 general strikes in Galicia since its creation.[1]
Currently the CIG has 5,623 labour delegates[2] and more than 80,000 militants, being the largest union in Galicia both in militancy and delegates.
