The Commerce and Transport Union (German: Gewerkschaft Handel, Transport, Verkehr, HTV) was a trade union representing workers in the distribution industry in Austria.

The union was founded in 1945 by the Austrian Trade Union Federation. By 1998, it had only 35,715 members.[1] In 2006, it merged with the Railway Workers' Union and the Hotel, Catering and Personal Services Union, to form Vida.[2]
