Syndicalism in France

"Syndicalism in France" by Lewis L. (Lewis Levitzki) Lorwin is an early 20th-century exploration of revolutionary syndicalism within the French labor movement, especially the pivotal General Confederation of Labor (C.G.T.), providing a detailed analysis of labor unions as revolutionary syndicalism connected with socialist ideas and trade unionism to achieve economic and social reform. It begins by clarifying "syndicalism" for English readers, highlighting its revolutionary meaning in French labor. It explains the core ideas of revolutionary syndicalism as part of a bigger socialist cause, critiquing socio-economic systems and championing worker's rights plus emphasizing the C.G.T.'s important part and contentious disputes around syndicalist ideology and its impact on labor politics in France and other countries.
