The Confederation of Christian Trade Unions (Kiravic: Vuntirán Xristóvix Amerþūráya, High Coscivian: háaxxor e``mpsmp txMspë) is a national trade union center organising and serving labour unions and craft guilds in the Kiravian Federacy. The CCTU professes a Social-Christian and neo-corporatist vision and endorses a Christian-democratic and distributist political programme.

Members of CCTU-affiliated unions may adhere to any faithl; unions themselves are required to have a Christian character. The CCTU is most strongly influenced by Catholic social teaching, and Catholics have traditionally been overrepresented in its central leadership. A proposed merger with the Islamic Labour Federation was rejected in 21192, though the two organisations coöperate closely.

CCTU unions and guilds are distributed over a wide range of industries and specialties. Unions representing workers at church-affiliated workplaces, such as Catholic universities or cemeteries, are overwhelmingly affiliated to the CCTU, as are workers in many coöperative and co-managed enterprises with a distributist ethos. Nonetheless, the bulk of the union's membership are employed in ordinary industries as diverse as printing, fishing, metallurgy, healthcare, and soapmaking.

The CCTU has a close official relationship with the Caritist Social Union and similarly close ties with its state-level affiliate parties. Its regional organising committees wield significant political influence in Farravonia, Niyaska, Hanoram, and Fariva, especially the city of Bérasar.
