Federation of General Unions of National Education
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 4 min
The Federation of General Unions of National Education (French: Fédération des syndicats généraux de l'Éducation nationale, SGEN) is a trade union representing education workers in France.
The union was founded in October 1937, by Guy Raynaud de Lage, François Henry and Paul Vignaux. Despite being a secular union, it decided to join the French Confederation of Christian Workers (CFTC), in preference to the secular but left-wing General Confederation of Labour (CGT). The union argued that the CFTC should also become a secular organisation, and this was achieved in 1964, when the majority of the federation became the French Democratic Confederation of Labour.[1][2]
By 1995, the union claimed 40,700 members,[3] but by 2017, this had fallen to 24,952.[4]
