Federation of Energy, Resource, Chemical and Related Workers

The Federation of Energy, Resource, Chemical and Related Workers (Italian: Federazione Lavoratori Energia Risorse Chimica Affini, FLERICA) was a trade union representing industrial workers in Italy.

The union was founded in 1981, when the Federation of Chemistry merged with the Federation of Energy.[1] Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the Italian Confederation of Workers' Trade Unions. By 1998, it had 82,071 members, of whom half worked in mining and quarrying, 30% in chemicals, and the remainder in gas and water supply.[2]

In 2001, the union merged with the Italian Federation of Textile and Clothing Workers, to form the Federation of Energy, Fashion, Chemistry and Related Workers.[3]
