FFW was founded on by a group of young, idealistic, sincere and dedicated labor leaders led by Juan C. Tan, who were inspired by the Christian teachings of Rev. Fr. Walter G. Hogan, S.J., thus becoming the first labor federation which appeals to and draws its inspirations from the social doctrines and principles of Christianity. It was founded in response to the growing oppression and marginalization of labor and exploitative social structures and arrangements. Its primary activities include organizing workers into unions, education work among workers, collective bargain negotiations, legal services for distressed workers, lobbying, advocacy, campaign, participating in legislative and policy-making, consultations with government, private sector and other civil society organizations, and representing workers in numerous tripartite bodies in national and international sphere.
