General Union of Growers
Trade union of Italy
The General Union of Growers (Italian: Unione Generale Coltivatori, UGC) is a trade union representing self-employed farmers and smallholders in Italy.
The union was founded in 1983, through a merger involving the Italian Federation of Sharecroppers and Smallholders. Like that union, it affiliated to the Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions. By 1998, the union had 70,659 members.[1] Pietro Monelli became president of the union in 2014, at which time it still claimed more than 70,000 members.[2]
