The Unión Obrera Democrática Filipina (UOD or UODF, English: Philippine Democratic Labor Union) was a trade union center in the Philippines. The organization was considered as the first-ever modern trade union federation in the history of the country, composed of unions from various labor industries; earlier and prior labor groups had been more of mutual aid societies and guilds.[2] The organization had thirty-three affiliated trade unions as of 1902.[3] In 1903, the organization counted 150 affiliated unions, with around 20,000 members in the Manila area.[4] At its peak, the Union Obrera Democratica had approximately 150,000 members in eight provinces of Luzon.[5] Its members were also the very first members of the Philippine Independent Church when it was proclaimed in 1902.[1]
