The General Alliance of Labour Unions in Suriname (AVVS, or De Moederbond) is a trade union federation in Suriname. It was founded in 1951.
In 1982
Cyrill Daal
, the president of De Moederbond, was executed by the military.
In 1986 the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) suspended De Moederbond's membership because of a lack of democratic principles within the union. Membership in ICFTU (now the ITUC) was restored two years later in response to restorative changes.
