The Union of Clothing Workers and Kindred Trades in Belgium (Dutch: Centrale der Kleding en Aanverwante Vakken van België, CKAVB; French: Centrale du Vêtement et Parties Similaires de Belgique, CVPS) was a trade union representing workers in the clothing industry in Belgium.
[1] From 1920, the union was led by Frans Liebaers, who was a member of the Belgian Workers Party.
Under his leadership, the union's funds were secreted with Paul Finet during World War II, and after the war, the union was a founder of the General Federation of Belgian Labour (ABVV).
In 1952, Liebaers opposed a 24-hour strike by the ABVV for the reduction of the length of compulsory military service, and was removed from office.
[1] The union's membership grew during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, peaking at 32,268 in 1976, then fell gradually; by 1993, it had 22,658 members.
