It was established in 2007 with the prime motto of promoting and protecting the rights of workers. Decent work, complete social security of workers and democratic labour market is the primary concern of ANTUF. Registered in Labour Department, Government of Nepal, ANTUF has been intensifying its campaigns/activities in almost all the sectors from both formal and informal economy over the years.

For past 7 years of its establishment, ANTUF has been constantly taking initiatives for the formation of Labour Law, Trade Union Law and Social Security Bill. Furthermore, ANTUF has been actively lobbying for ratification and implementation of all Labour Laws, Social Security Act and ILO Core Conventions.
