The Tobacco Workers' Union (Dutch: Belgisch Centraal Verbond voor Tabaksbewerkers, French: Central Belge de travailleurs du tabac) was a trade union representing workers in the tobacco industry in Belgium.
Like its predecessor, the union supported the emigration of members who struggled to find work, and it founded branches in the United States for Belgian tobacco workers there.
[1] The union's membership peaked at 10,000 in 1919, when it secured the eight-hour working day for the industry.
However, branches in Turnhout moved to the union's Christian rival, and as tastes switched from cigars to cigarettes, increased mechanisation saw the total workforce in the industry fall.
It was a founder constituent of the General Federation of Belgian Labour in 1945.
