Non-manual workers in the IMF

In some countries, there are unions representing exclusively white-collar workers. In others, non-manual workers are part of industrial unions, which have a special division or a branch to take care of their interests. A majority of IMF affiliates, however, have no specific structure.

Specific white-collar unions:

ASIMRA, Argentina
LBC/NVK and SETCA/BBTK, Belgium
TU, TEK and Insinöoriliitto, Finland
Handel og Kontor, Norway
De Unie, Netherlands
SIF and Civilingenjörsförbundet, Sweden
IFPTE, USA

A division/department/branch in unions representing both manual and non-manual workers, e.g:

AMWU, Australia
CAW, Canada
IG Metall, Germany
UAW, USA
CO-industri, Denmark
SIPTU, Ireland
MCA-UGT, Spain
FIM-CISL, Italy

The majority of IMF affiliates have no specific section/department dealing with white-collar workers’ issues.

It is also worth noting that some industrial unions have a section for white-collar employees on their website, e.g. the AMWU, Australia or FTM-CGT, France.
