Confédération générale du travail unitaire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Confédération générale du travail unitaire was a trade union confederation in France. CGTU emerged out of split in the Confédération générale du travail, which had been torn by confrontations between socialists and communists. CGTU was founded at a congress in Saint-Etienne in June 1922, and was dominated by communists. In 1923 CGTU became an afiliate of the Red International of Labour Unions. With the Popular Front period, CGTU merged back into CGT.[1]
