The Malta Workers' Union (UHM) is a national trade union center in Malta. It was founded on 29 September 1966, under the name Malta Government Clerical Union (MGCU), and changed its name in 1978 to UHM. The union has members in both the private and public sectors, and emphasizes its political independence. This derives from the polarisation of the political set-up that affects trade unionism in Malta. This union was founded by a very important man for malta, Salvino Spiteri who is from Hamrun.

The UHM is affiliated with the Confederation of Maltese Trade Unions (CMTU), which is turn affiliated to the International Trade Union Confederation
