The '''Trade Union of Education and Science Workers of Ukraine''' (TUESWU; {{langx|uk|Профспілка працівників освіти і науки України}}, PON) is a [[trade union]] representing workers in two related sectors in [[Ukraine]].
The union was established on 14 September 1990, as the successor to the Ukrainian section of the Soviet Education, Higher Schools and Scientific Institutions Workers' Union.  It affiliated to the [[Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine]].  The union supported the [[Euromaidan]] protests, but lost significant membership with the [[annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation]] and declarations of independence in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions.  By early 2016, it had 1,678,674 members, making it the largest trade union in the country.<ref>{{cite web |title=Історична довідка Профспілки працівників освіти і науки України |url=https://pon.org.ua/pro-profspilku/istoriya/ |website=PON |access-date=6 March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Slukvin |first1=Mykhailo |last2=Martiskova |first2=Monika |last3=Sedlakova |first3=Maria |title=TRADE UNIONS AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS AS CIVIL SOCIETY ACTORS WORKING ON THE ISSUES OF LABOUR RIGHTS AND SOCIAL DIALOGUE IN UKRAINE |date=2020 |publisher=Central European Labour Studies Institute |location=Bratislava |url=https://www.celsi.sk/media/research_reports/RR39.pdf |access-date=6 March 2022}}</ref>
