This article examines the legal status and organizational framework of trade unions in Uzbekistan. It analyzes the unique legal mechanisms that distinguish trade unions from other public associations, particularly in the processes of formation, reorganization, and dissolution. The research is based on comparative legal analysis, national legislation, including the Law "On Trade Unions" and the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as international standards and doctrinal perspectives. Special attention is given to the legal procedure for state registration of trade unions and the principle of their independence from state bodies. The article highlights the challenges in regulating the relationship between trade unions and government bodies, as well as the pressing need to clarify legal norms regarding their activities in the labor market. The study emphasizes the evolving role of trade unions in protecting workers' rights, participating in employment policy, and contributing to the development of human capital within the national labor market. Recommendations for improving legislative provisions are also presented.
