In 2008, the NTUC and the Democratic Confederation of Nepalese Trade Unions (DECONT) merged to form the NTUC-Independent (DECONT had split from the NTUC in 1997). While still known as NTUC-I, the union has reverted to the former name.[1]

The 6th National Congress was held on June 12-15, 2018 in Kathmandu, which elected Pushkar Acharya as president. NTUC has 26 sectoral unions and 7 province committees.
