The '''Moroccan Workers' Union''' (UMT for ''Union marocaine du travail'') is the oldest [[national trade union center]] in [[Morocco]]. It was formed in 1955 by {{ill|Mahjoub Ben Seddik|fr}}. With a membership of more than 306,000, UMT represents workers in both the private and public sectors of the economy.

In 1960, the [[General Union of Moroccan Workers]] (UGTM) split from the UMT. In 1963, UMT itself lapsed its membership in the [[International Confederation of Free Trade Unions]], after the formation of the [[All-African Trade Union Federation]], as a result of the AATUF's opposition to African membership in non-African organisations. 

In 1990, UMT re-affiliated itself to the ICFTU (now the [[International Trade Union Confederation]]).
