The Galician Unions Confederacy (Galician: Confederación Intersindical Galega, CIG) is a trade union in Galicia that was created after the merge of two previous unions: the INTG and the CXTG. It has a Galician nationalist and socialist ideology and generally defends a combative labour model, as opposed to the perceived mild tactics of the other two main unions in Galicia, CCOO and the UGT. The union has organized 6 general strikes in Galicia since its creation.
Currently the CIG has 5,623 labour delegates and more than 80,000 members, being the largest union in Galicia both in membership and delegates.
