The Czechoslovak Trade Union Association was founded in Prague on 31 January 1897, establishing a national trade union center within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The organization was established to create a Czech trade union movement separate from the Viennese Imperial Trade Union Commission. This action followed two years of complaints by Czech trade unionists regarding the Vienna Commission's neglect of the Czech labour movement.
