The Workers' Left Front – Unity (Spanish: Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabajadores – Unidad, FIT-U) is an electoral alliance of four revolutionary Trotskyist communist parties in Argentina: the Workers' Party (PO), the Socialist Workers' Party (PTS), Socialist Left (IS), and the Workers' Socialist Movement (MST).[9] Initially founded in 2011, the alliance added MST in 2019.
After the 2023 Argentine general election the FIT-U has five national deputies in the National Congress of Argentina: Nicolás del Caño (PTS),[10] Christian Castillo (PTS),[11] Myriam Bregman (PTS),[12] Alejandro Vilca (PTS),[13] and Romina Del Plá (PO).
The predecessor of FIT-U was the Frente de Izquierda y los Trabajadores, Anticapitalista y Socialista, which consisted of the PTS, IS and New Movement for Socialism (NMAS). It stood in the 2009 legislative elections.[14] Attempts to include the PO in this front broke down because the PO insisted on filling the first three positions on the lists with its own members.[14]
