The Dutch Catholic Factory Workers' Union ( nl, Nederlandse Katholieke Bond van Werknemers in Industriële Bedrijven), also known as "Sint Willibrordus", was a
trade union in the Netherlands, representing manufacturing workers.
The union was founded on 17 December 1911, as the Dutch Catholic Factory, Port and Transport Workers Union. It gradually expanded its remit to cover other industries, and in 1917 became the Factory Workers' Union. It absorbed the Glass and Pottery Association and the Dutch Catholic Leather Workers' Union in the 1920s,
and by 1964, it had 43,289 members.
