Union of Postal and Telecommunications Workers

Union of Postal and Telecommunications Workers (German: Gewerkschaft für Post- und Fernmeldebedienstete, GPF) is a trade union representing communication workers in Austria.

The union was founded in 1945 by the Austrian Trade Union Federation. By 1998, it had 78,436 members.[1] Historically, almost all the union's members worked for Post und Telekom Austria, but following privatisation and the entry of competitors into the market, it now has members in a variety of companies.[2]
