APFUTU-General Unions believes that the right to organise workers and to be recognised by an employer at the bargaining table are the two legs that all union work stands on. Without the legal right to form a union and to engage in collective bargaining, unions cannot function.

For this reason APFUTU-General Unions Section has a campaign that fights for trade union rights in Pakistan . APFUTU-General Unions fights for the creation of laws protecting the right to organise and bargain in countries where they do not exist, it pushes to strengthen them in Pakistan where the laws are weak and it demands they are in enforced in Pakistan that have put those rights in the law books.

APFUTU-General Unions believes that it is by workers themselves, with the help and support of their unions, who will best push up organisation rates and recognition in their own section/union/federation.

APFUTU-General Unions program supports the work being done by affiliates in their own countries to codify and protect their rights. It also promotes an organising model for all unions to grow their membership and encourages them to reach out to young workers, women and those in new technologies who are not already unionised.
