Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT)

The Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT) is one of France's largest trade union confederations, founded in 1895. It represents workers from various industries and aims to defend workers' rights, improve labor conditions, and promote social justice. The CGT is known for its militant approach, organizing strikes and protests to advocate for workers' interests. It plays a significant role in French labor movements and engages in negotiations with employers and the government on issues like wages, job security, and workers' rights. The CGT's influence extends beyond labor to political and social activism within France.
