Leather Workers' Union

The Leather Workers' Union (Dutch: Centrale der Leder- en Vellenbewerking van België) was a trade union representing workers in the leather and shoe industries in Belgium.

In 1921, the glove makers' union joined, and overall membership reached 10,000.

However, the union struggled to recruit the approximately 15,000 Jewish workers in the leather trades.

In 1939, the Union of Clothing Workers and Kindred Trades in Belgium proposed a merger, but the Leather Workers' Union rejected the idea.
