The Communication Workers' Union ({{langx|it|Sindacato Lavoratori della Comunicazione}}, SLC) is a trade union representing workers in the printing, communications and entertainment industries in Italy.

The union was founded in 1996, when the Italian Federation of Postal and Telecommunication Workers merged with the Italian Federation of Information and Entertainment Workers. Like its predecessors, the union affiliated to the Italian General Confederation of Labour. By 1998, the union had 90,757 members.{{cite book |last1=Ebbinghaus |first1=Bernhard |last2=Visser |first2=Jelle |title=Trade Unions in Western Europe Since 1945 |date=2000 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |location=Basingstoke |isbn=0333771125 |pages=402–404}}
