Title
French Trade Unions Put to the Test by the Political Crisis / Le syndicalisme français à l’épreuve de la crise politique
Abstract
Analyzes the state of trade unionism in France with particular reference to union participation during the political crisis surrounding the pensions movement of 2023 and the formation of a left-wing popular front during the 2024 national election. Concludes that unions must break free from the narrow, industrial relations focus (called "démocratie social") that has predominated over the past 30 years, and that political unionism and the broader representation of work should be the strategic objectives. The text is an address originally given by the author at the annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Work and Labour Studies, Université du Québec à Montréal, on June 19, 2024.
