The Trade Union Congress of Namibia (TUCNA) is one of three national trade union centres in Namibia. TUCNA was formed as a merger between the Namibia Federation of Trade Unions (NAFTU) and the Namibia People’s Social Movement (NPSM) in May 2002.{{cite web|title=TUCNA's Background|url=http://www.tucna.org.na/|accessdate=18 October 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111105540/http://www.tucna.org.na/|archivedate=11 January 2012}} The TUCNA was created by unions which rejected linkages with Namibia's ruling party, the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO).{{cite web|last=Jauch|first=Herbert|title=Between revolutionary rhetoric and class compromise: Reflections on the Namibian labour movement|url=http://www.larri.com.na/papers/Unions%20-%20revolution%20or%20class%20compromise.pdf|work=Theoretical Approaches to Labour Geographies Conference, University of Oslo, 14–15 May 2008|accessdate=18 October 2011}}
