History

All India UTUC was founded at a conference held in Calcutta April 26-27 1958, following a split in the United Trade Union Congress. Initially it used the name UTUC, but in the general media it was referred to as UTUC (Dharamtala Street) (where it had its offices) to distinguish it from the original UTUC. In 1969, at the initiative of Subodh Banerjee, West Bengal State Committee President of the organisation and PWD Minister in anti-Congress United Front Government in the state, the name of the street was changed to 'Lenin Sarani'. Thus the new name of the organisation became UTUC (Lenin Sarani).

In the 17th UTUC(LS) conference held in Delhi in 1985 the organisation was re-named as 'United Trade Union Centre (Lenin Sarani)'. In the 18th conference held in 1992 in Calcutta 'Lenin Sarani' was un-bracketed, implying that it no longer referred to the name of the street where the office is located but became an integral part of the name of the organisation which was there after known as 'United Trade Union Centre-Lenin Sarani' (UTUC-LS). The 19th all India conference of the organization held in Delhi on 27th March 2008 approved the change of name to All India United Trade Union Centre (All India UTUC) [ [http://www.suci.in/download2007/pe04152008.pdf All India Conference of UTUC-Lenin Sarani: Vows to develop workers’ political power to overthrow capitalist rule] ] .
