It was in 1920 that was founded, in The Hague (Holland), the international trade union organisation currently known as World Confederation of Labour - WCL. Born in the European cradle and inspired by the basic values of Christian humanism, this organisation was constituted under the name of "International Federation of Christian Trade Unions (IFCTU)." As was stipulated in the first Statutes, the new international trade union organisation wanted to protect, in an independent and autonomous way, not only the concrete workers' interests but also values such as the dignity of the human being, the priority of labour, democracy, justice and solidarity across the national borders.

C'est en 1920 qu'a été fondée, à La Haye (Pays-Bas), l'organisation syndicale internationale, connue actuellement comme Confédération Mondiale du Travail - CMT. Née dans le berceau européen et inspirée par les valeurs fondamentales de l'humanisme chrétien, cette organisation a été créée sous l'appellation de «Confédération Internationale des Syndicats Chrétiens (CISC)». Comme le stipulaient les premiers statuts, la nouvelle organisation syndicale internationale voulait défendre, d'une manière indépendante et autonome, non seulement les intérêts concrets des travailleurs, mais également des valeurs comme la dignité de la personne humaine, la priorité du travail, la démocratie, la justice et la solidarité au delà des frontières nationales.

En 1920 se constituyó en La Haya (Holanda) la organización sindical mundial conocida actualmente como la Confederación Mundial del Trabajo - CMT. Nacida en la cuna europea e inspirada por los valores fundamentales del humanismo cristiano, esta organización fue bautizada "Confederación Internacional de Sindicatos Cristianos (CISC)". Como lo estipulaban los primeros estatutos, la nueva organización sindical internacional se centraba en la defensa independiente y autónoma, no sólo de los intereses concretos de los trabajadores, sino también de valores tales como la dignidad de la persona humana, la prioridad del trabajo, la democracia, la justicia y la solidaridad por encima de las fronteras nacionales.
