Dutch Catholic Trade Union Federation

The Dutch Catholic Trade Union Federation (Dutch: Nederlands Katholiek Vakverbond, NKV) was a national trade union centre bringing together Catholic trade unions in the Netherlands.

The federation was established in 1925, as the Roman Catholic Workers' Federation. It disbanded in 1941, but was reformed in 1945, as the Catholic Workers' Movement. In 1964, it became the NKV, with nine affiliated trade unions. In 1976, it merged with the Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions, to form the Federation of Dutch Trade Unions, although it was not formally dissolved until 1981.[1]
