List of trade unions in Belgium

This page contains a list of trade unions in Belgium.

In Belgium, trade unions are organised along politico-denominational lines, following the pillarisation in Belgian society. Therefore, the three major trade unions are all confederations, each adhering to a particular religion or ideology, namely Christian (Catholic), Socialist and Liberal. Each confederation cuts across industry boundaries, having members working in many different sectors.

Confederation of Christian Trade Unions, founded in 1904.
General Confederation of Liberal Trade Unions of Belgium, founded before the turn of the 20th century. It organizes unions directly, without an occupationally based union structure.
General Federation of Belgian Labour, founded in 1898, affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
