The Workers' United Front (Estonian: Töörahva Ühine Väerind) was a political party in Estonia.

History

The party was a front for the Communist Party, which had used umbrella organisations to participate in politics since being banned in 1918.[1] In the 1923 elections the party won 10 seats,[2] an increase on the five won by the Communists in the 1920 elections running under the guise of the Central Committee of Tallinn Trade Unions.[2]

For the 1926 elections the Communists ran as the Estonian Workers' Party.[2]
