As one of the oldest existing labour unions in Hong Kong, the HKFTU has long been seen as a satellite organisation of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC), operating in Hong Kong. It took a leading role in the 1967 riots against the British rule and was suppressed by the colonial government. In the 1980s, the HKFTU, along with the conservative business elites, led efforts against faster democratisation during the run up to the Chinese resumption of Hong Kong sovereignty in 1997.

HKFTU trade unionists were among the founding members of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) in 1992, which has become the flagship pro-Beijing party today. In the early 2010s, the HKFTU began actively participating in elections under its own banner with a more pro-grassroots and pro-labour platform, distant from the DAB's pro-middle-class and professionals outlook, in order to broaden the pro-Beijing electorate.
