The Unión del Trabajo de Filipinas (UTF;) was a trade union confederation in the Philippines. It was formed, with support of the U.S. administration of William Howard Taft, as a substitute for the defunct Unión Obrera Democrática Filipina. The UTF was modelled after the American Federation of Labor, and represented a much more moderate political line than its predecessor.[1] Lope K. Santos, head of the union at the Katubusan Cigar and Cigarette Factory, was the president of the UTF.[1] Political rivalries led to the dissolution of UTF in 1907.[2]
