The Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council is the fourth largest trade unions in Hong Kong next to the pro-Beijing Federation of Trade Unions (FTU), pro-democracy Confederation of Trade Unions (CTU) and pro-Beijing Federation of Hong Kong and Kowloon Labour Unions (FLU). It is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation.

HKTUC has been pro-Kuomintang, one of the main political parties of the Republic of China since its establishment in 1948 and has maintained a close relationship with the party.[1] It was the biggest rival to the leftist trade unions FTU and was seen as a rightist union. The former leader of the union, Pang Chun-hoi was the Legislative Council member for the Labour constituency in 1985-1995, while another seat of the two was occupied by the FTU leader Tam Yiu-chung before the handover of Hong Kong in 1997.
