Conservatives at Work (CaW), formerly Conservative Trade Unionists (CTU), is an organisation within the British Conservative Party made up of Conservative-supporting trade unionists. It played an important role in expanding the party's membership and influence, particularly in Britain's industrial regions. By building support within trade unions, the party contributed to the reduction of the power and influence of the left. Targeting the working class became a priority for the party, motivated by the idea that revulsion towards Labour's egalitarian goals and redistributive policies would emerge from this group.

| - Die Conservatives at Work (früher Conservative Trade Unionists) sind ein britischer Verein von Gewerkschaftern, die der Conservative Party angehören. Dies geschieht ungeachtet der Tatsache, dass die konservative Partei traditionell als Partei der Besserverdienenden gilt. Zusätzlich sind viele Gewerkschaften im Trades Union Congress organisiert, der ein Mitbegründer der Labour Party ist. Die Mitgliederzahl der "Conservatives at Work" liegt weit unter der der CDA in Deutschland. (de)

Zusätzlich sind viele Gewerkschaften im Trades Union Congress organisiert, der ein Mitbegründer der Labour Party ist. Die Mitgliederzahl der "Conservatives at Work" liegt weit unter der der CDA in Deutschland. Der Vorsitzende von 1978 bis 1980 war der jetzige Abgeordnete , gefolgt von Spencer Battiste. Später war der Vorsitzende John Bowis. (de)
- Conservatives at Work (CaW), formerly Conservative Trade Unionists (CTU), is an organisation within the British Conservative Party made up of Conservative-supporting trade unionists. It played an important role in expanding the party's membership and influence, particularly in Britain's industrial regions. By building support within trade unions, the party contributed to the reduction of the power and influence of the left. Targeting the working class became a priority for the party, motivated by the idea that revulsion towards Labour's egalitarian goals and redistributive policies would emerge from this group. The CTU served several purposes. One of these involved being a conduit of communication between the Conservative Party and the workers and unionists. The primary objective was for the group to effectively articulate the party's policies and principles to a working class audience. In this way, both organisations benefited. The workers were able to influence policy-making while the Conservative members, particularly at the parliamentary level, were able to determine which measures would receive support or strong opposition. This was important because CTU held considerable influence on public opinion, especially in the latter part of the 1970s. CTU also influenced unionists on issues such as the right to opt out of paying a political levy. (en)
