The Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA) is a Swazi trade union federation.
TUCOSWA was formed in January 2012 and was initially recognised and registered by the Swazi government.
The Swazi government chose to deregister TUCOSWA in April 2013, in violation of the rules of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) (convention 87) that Swaziland has ratified. TUCOSWA is thus effectively an illegal organisation. Swaziland is therefore in effect without an overarching trade union federation,as the Swaziland Federation of Trade Unions and the Swaziland Federation of Labour that formed TUCOSWA disbanded their organisations upon the formation of TUCOSWA.
There have been several reports of police clamping down on TUCOSWA.
South African Trade Union Federation COSATU and Danish NGO Africa Contact started a campaign to unban TUCOSWA i July 2013.
