It launched a movement demanding for rights to organize, increase of wages, improvement in working conditions, and suitable provision of housing for the workers. That movement is recognized as the first labour movement in Nepal and holds a special place in democratic movement in Nepal.

After the reestablishment of Nepal Trade Union Congress (NTUC) on 29th May 1990, it has been conducting various activities to uplift the economic, political and social status of the workers through collective bargaining. Nepal Trade Union Congress initiated and continuously put pressure on the government for the labour friendly rules and regulations. As a result of its continuous struggle, the government of Nepal has endorsed Labour Act, Trade Union Act and Contribution based Social Security Act. NTUC will continuously work to implement these Acts for the betterment of the workers' condition in the country.
