LAB (Langile Abertzaleen Batzordeak, "Nationalist Workers' Comitees" in Basque language) is a Basque trade union operating mainly in Spain currently led by Rafael Díez Usabiaga.

They are part of the Basque National Liberation Movement, an aggregation of leftist Basque nationalist forces including the illegal armed organization Euskadi Ta Askatasuna and the illegal party Batasuna.

The union is still legal and it is one of the four major of its kind in the Basque Country. In the last decades it has been working mostly with the other nationalist union, ELA, while both have been opposed often by the Spanish-wide trade unions, UGT and CC.OO., that make up their own bloc.
