Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the development of Catholic Social Teaching on the issue of trade unions from Pope Leo XIII. to Pope John Paul II. Social encyclicals and other church documents are analyzed in the chronological order of their creation. In addition to church documents, other available theological, sociological, and political science literature is used. Special emphasis is placed on the social doctrine of John Paul II. which in several documents legitimized the trade union movement as socially relevant and necessary.
