The International Federation of Employees in Public Service (French: Fédération Internationale du Personnel des Services Publics, INFEDOP) was an International Trade Federation of the World Confederation of Labour (WCL).

History

The federation was founded in November 1953, when the International Federation of Christian Post, Telegraph and Telephone Workers merged with the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions, at a meeting in Paris. Initially named the International Federation of Christian Staff Unions, Utilities and Post, Telegraph and Telephone Workers, it adopted its final name in 1966.

In 1963, the federation founded a section for teachers' unions, which in 1974 split away as the independent World Confederation of Teachers.[3]

By 1979, INFEDOP claimed that its affiliates had a total of 3,500,000 members.
