The National Workers' Union of Mali, formed in 1963, initially was closely supervised by the Keïta and Traoré regimes. However, in the 1990s the relationship between the union and government deteriorated. In 1997 the police occupied the union's headquarters and sealed the general secretary's office.

The union is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation.
