The Union of Industry, Commerce and Finance (UNICOF) is a trade union representing workers in various sectors, in Ghana.

The union was founded in August 2003, as a split from the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union (ICU). The Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC) accepted the new union as an affiliate, which led UNICOF to resign from the TUC.[1][2] On formation, the union had 4,000 members, and by 2011 this had grown to 12,000.[3]

The union was initially led by General Secretary John Esiape, but he was suspended from office in 2016.[4] Since then, it has been led by Chief Executive Officer John Senanu Amegashie.[5]
