The Confederation of Christian Trade Unions (CCTU) is an international organization that represents the interests of Christian trade unions worldwide. It is a confederation, meaning it is an alliance or union of multiple independent organizations that have come together for a common purpose. The CCTU aims to promote and protect the rights and well-being of workers, while also upholding Christian values and principles.
The CCTU provides a platform for Christian trade unions to collaborate, share information and resources, and collectively address issues affecting workers. It serves as a forum for trade unions to advocate for fair labor practices, social justice, and the dignity of all workers, based on Christian teachings.
As a confederation, the CCTU operates through a system of consensus and cooperation among its member organizations. It facilitates dialogue and cooperation between affiliated unions, promoting solidarity, mutual support, and shared strategies. The CCTU also serves as a representative body, working to strengthen relations with other international trade union bodies and engaging in dialogues with employers, governments, and other stakeholders on labor-related matters.
The Confederation of Christian Trade Unions emphasizes the moral and ethical dimensions of workers' rights and seeks to promote a just and equitable society based on Christian principles of social justice, fairness, and compassion. Its activities encompass various labor issues, including wages, working conditions, occupational health and safety, workers' rights, and social protection. By working together, the member unions of the CCTU strive to improve the lives and well-being of workers while upholding Christian values and principles in the workplace and society as a whole.
