The Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL) is a
national trade union centre in
Ghana. The origins of the GFL can be traced to the departure of a group of workers from the
TUC-affiliated
Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union who then founded the Textile, Garment and Leather Employees Union (TGLEU) in 1993.
[2] The TGLEU subsequently attempted to affiliate to the TUC, but was refused.
[2] In 1996, changes in labour law in Ghana allowed trade union pluralism and in 1998 the GFL was founded.

The GFL has nine affiliated unions: [1]: 24
