The Catalan branch of PT was known as Partit dels Treballadors de Catalunya (Workers' Party of Catalonia). It published Yesca.

The old PT was short-lived. In 1980, a severe internal crisis erupted, and the party last contested elections in 1987.

In February 2009, it was refunded and reactivated, becoming an active political organization again.
