The '''Workers' Commissions''' ({{langx|es|'''Comisiones Obreras''', '''CCOO'''}}) since the 1970s has become the largest [[trade union]] in Spain. It has more than one million members, and is the most successful union in labor elections, competing with the [[Unión General de Trabajadores]] (UGT), which is historically affiliated with the [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party]] (PSOE), and with the [[anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] [[General Confederation of Labor (Spain)|Confederación General del Trabajo]] (CGT), which is usually a distant third.

The CCOO were organized in the 1960s by the [[Communist Party of Spain (main)|Communist Party of Spain]] (PCE) and workers' [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] groups to fight against [[Francoist Spain]], and for [[labor rights]] (in opposition to the non-representative "vertical unions" in the [[Spanish Labour Organization]]). The various organizations formed a single entity after a 1976 Congress in [[Barcelona]].

Along with other unions like the [[Unión Sindical Obrera]] (USO) and the UGT, it called a [[general strike]] in 1976, and carried out protests against the conditions in the country. [[Marcelino Camacho]], a major figure of Spanish trade unionism and a PCE member, was CCOO's [[General Secretary]] from its foundation to 1985 - he was elected to the [[Congress of Deputies (Spain)|Congress of Deputies]] in the [[Spanish general election, 1977|1977 election]]. However, CCOO disassociated from the PCE in the early 1990s and is nowadays a non-partisan, negotiation-prone union.
