The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) is the oldest trade union federation in India. It is associated with the Communist Party of India.[1] According to provisional statistics from the Ministry of Labour, AITUC had a membership of 14.2 million in 2013.[2][3] It was founded on 31 October 1920 with Lala Lajpat Rai as its first president.[4]
