The Unified (or Sole) Syndical Confederation of Peasant Workers of Bolivia (Spanish: Confederación Sindical Única de Trabajadores Campesinos de Bolivia, CSUTCB) is the largest union of peasants in Bolivia.
The CSUTCB was formed in 1979 in opposition to government-sponsored peasant unions, and immediately replaced the
indigenous
demands, as well.
During the 1990s the CSUTCB moved beyond its support base of
opposed water privatization. The CSUTCB is a founding member of the Pact of Unity supporting the Evo Morales
government.
