The World Federation of Workers in Food, Drink, Tobacco and Hotel Industries (French: Fédération mondiale de travailleurs des industries alimentaires, du tabac et hôtelière, FMATH) was a global union federation bringing together unions representing workers in food and service industries.
The federation was established on 10 October 1948 at a meeting in Marche-en-Famenne. Initially named the International Christian Federation of Food, Drink, Tobacco and Hotel Workers, the federation was a merger of the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions of Workers in the Food and Drink Trades, the International Federation of Christian Tobacco Workers, and a federation of Christian hotel workers. Like its predecessors, it affiliated to the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions.[1]
By 1979, the federation's affiliates claimed a total of 250,000 members.[2] In 1982, it merged with the World Federation of Agricultural Workers, to form the World Federation of Agriculture and Food Workers.
