The European Union of Christian Democratic Workers (EUCDW) is the family of Christian Democratic workers’ organisations, whose roots run deep in the history of the European continent and which have pioneered the European project from its inception.
Tracing back its roots to the Encyclical Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII 125 years ago which guided Europe’s Founding Fathers – Robert Schuman, Alcide De Gasperi, and Konrad Adenauer – EUCDW is committed to a strong Europe based on a model which brings together the values of individual freedom, responsibility and solidarity.
This model, the Social Market Economy, which is included in the European Treaties, successfully combines sustainable, economic competitiveness with social justice. For many years we have advocated for the strengthening of this model: we are convinced that we need more Europe and more European Social Market Economy.

The European Union of Christian Democratic Workers (EUCDW) is the voice and official association of Christian Social movements within the EPP.
Led by its President Elmar BROK, Secretary General Ivo BELET and Treasurer Ria OOMEN-RUIJTEN, the European Union of Christian Democratic Workers (EUCDW) is the voice and official association of Christian Democratic workers in the European People’s Party (EPP).
Our association brings together 24 member organisations from 18 European countries, including Christian Democratic trade unions, Christian Social movements and political associations. Apart from being active within the structures of our mother party, the EPP, we are committed in a number of other European arenas, in particular the European Parliament.
One of our main objectives is to maintain good contacts within our political family, support the work carried out by our organisations, and provide ground for training, discussion and cooperation to prepare the Christian Democratic workers’ organisations to build tomorrow’s Europe.
