The Confédération Générale du Travail-Syndicaliste Révolutionnaire (CGT-SR; French for General Confederation of Revolutionary Trade Unions) was a trade union federation in France founded in 1926 by Pierre Besnard with the help of the Spanish CNT. It was affiliated to the International Workers' Association.[1]
It took part in the major struggles of its time, like anti-colonialism, the strikes of June 1936 in France, or the support to Spanish Republicans during the Spanish Civil War[3] and the resistance to the Nazis.
