General Confederation of Labor (CGT)

The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) is one of France’s major trade unions, established in 1895. It represents workers across various sectors, advocating for their rights, including fair wages, better working conditions, and social justice. The CGT plays a key role in French labor politics, often organizing strikes and protests to influence government policies and labor laws. It operates on principles of solidarity and collective bargaining, aiming to improve the lives of workers and uphold their interests in the face of economic and social challenges.
