The Lithuanian Federation of Industrial Trade Unions (LPPSF), continues to expand. Launched on 17 May 2012 through a merger of trade unions of chemical industry and energy workers, LPPSF (which already has about 4,800 members), was joined in August by another member of the Lithuanian Trade Union Confederation (LPSK)– the Lithuanian Building Workers Trade Union (LSPS) representing about 1,000 members.
LPPSF is hoping to become a partner in the employers’ organisation in the construction sector, the Lithuanian Builders’ Association (LSA).
