The Labour Party (French: Parti travailliste, PT) is a New Caledonian political party established on 18 November 2007. It is radically pro-independence and backed by the trade union Union of Kanak and Exploited Workers [fr] (USTKE).[1][2] It is considered close to the French alterglobalization movement led by José Bové.

## Elections

The PT supported two candidates in the 2007 French legislative election. Louis Kotra Uregei obtained 5.45% in New Caledonia's 1st constituency and François-Xavier Apock obtained 6.20% in New Caledonia's 2nd constituency.
