CNE (Centrale Nationale des Employés - Employees' National Group, website), the main worker's union centrale (that is, umbrella organization) of French-speaking and German-speaking Belgium with a membership of 180,000, represents employees and white collars of the private sector. With its social seat at Namur, CNE is affiliated to CSC (Confédération des Syndicats Chrétiens de Belgique - Belgium Christian Unions' Confederation) and UNI (Union Network International). The CNE local sections are grouped into four geographical "operational units", Brussels and Walloon Brabant, Hainaut, Liège, and Namur-Luxembourg.
The first Christian employees' union in Belgium was founded in 1909, its first review, Le Droit de l'Employé (The Employee's Right) being published in 1912. CNE was formally incorporated in 1934, with two regions, South (Wallonia) and North (Flanders). After the Second World War, the CNE split into the French-speaking CNE and the Dutch-speaking LBC (Landelijke Bediende Centrale). Together, CNE and LBC have more than 500,000 members.

The flag of CNE (photo) is green with theunion's logo, placed on a white rectangle in the middle.
The logo of CNE is made of the letters "C" (black with a small horizontal green bar in the middle), "N" (half black and green), and "C" (green). "CSC", in black Italic letters, is added under the "N".
