Paper and Publishing Industry Union

The Paper and Publishing Industry Union (Dutch: Centrale der Boek- en Papiernijverheid, CBP; French: Centrale de l'industrie du Livre et du Papier, CLP) was a trade union representing workers in the graphical industries in Belgium.

It was then a founder constituent of the General Federation of Belgian Labour (ABVV).

[1] While always a relatively small union, with a peak membership of 18,017 in 1975, for its first three decades, it was considered strong and highly successful.

However, increased mechanisation and computerisation of the industry led to widespread job losses, and many remaining workers were placed on precarious freelance contracts.

The union's secretariat decided to merge it into the Association of Employees, Technicians and Managers, the amalgamation taking place on 1 January 1996, but the Flemish region instead joined the General Union.
