Trade unions in Vatican City

Trade union activity in Vatican City dates from 1985 with the creation of the Association of Vatican Lay Workers (ADLV). The union organised the first strike in the City in 1988 to win improved working conditions and in 1992 organised a campaign of mass resignations which won the right to pensions for Vatican workers. In 1993 Vatican Authorities formally recognised the ADLV.[1]

The Vatican itself has relations with trade unions and trade union organisations. The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) has welcomed discussions with the Catholic Church on work, human development and trade unions.[2] The Vatican also maintains relations with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and supports efforts that benefit child workers and migrants and efforts to eradicate trafficking.[3]
