Abstract

That paper aims to assess the impact of Christianism on trade union movement. Using an historical framework, we study, initially, the roman-catholic teaching on labour. Then, we approach the various versions of Christian socialism and Christian democracy within trade unions and study their implications on employee relations in the western countries. In conclusion, we discuss the perspectives of Christian unionism in current socio-economic environments.
