Company Union
A company or "yellow" union is a worker organization which is dominated or unduly influenced by an employer and is therefore not an independent trade union. Company unions are contrary to international labour law (see ILO Convention 98, Article 2). They were outlawed in the United States by the 1935 National Labor Relations Act §8(a)(2), due to their use as agents for interference with independent unions. However, company unions persist in many countries. Some labour organizations are accused by rival unions of behaving as "company unions" if they are seen as having too close or congenial a relationship with the employer or with business associations, and even if they may be formally recognized in their respective jurisdictions as '' bona fide'' trade unions, they are usually rejected as such by regional and national trade union centres. In a study of one such organisation, this form of company union was observed to rarely or never strike, exert relatively little energy in re ...

Confédération Générale Du Travail-Syndicaliste Révolutionnaire
The Revolutionary Syndicalist General Confederation of Labour (; CGT-SR) was a French Third Republic, French national trade union center, national trade union centre. It emerged out of the libertarianism, libertarian faction of the Confédération générale du travail unitaire, Unitary General Confederation of Labour (CGTU) and split away after it came under the control of the French Communist Party (PCF). The CGT-SR was established in 1926, largely on the basis of artisanal unions in southern France, and became the country's third and smallest trade union confederation. Its driving ideology was syndicalism, revolutionary syndicalism, which rejected political parties and upheld decentralisation as an organisational model. From its foundation, the CGT-SR was a stagnant and isolated organisation. Its exclusionary ideology and political sectarianism alienated many workers, who preferred to instead join the communist-led CGTU, the reformist CGT, or unaffiliated autonomous unions. T ...

The Confédération générale du travail unitaire, or CGTU (), was a trade union confederation in France that at first included anarcho-syndicalists and soon became aligned with the French Communist Party. It was founded in 1922 as a confederation of radical unions that had left the socialist-dominated General Confederation of Labour (France), General Confederation of Labour (CGT), and in 1936 merged back into the CGT. Foundation The CGTU emerged from a split in the General Confederation of Labour (France), General Confederation of Labour (CGT: ''Confédération générale du travail''), which had been torn by confrontations between socialist members of the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO: ''Section Française de l'Internationale Ouvrière'') and the more radical anarcho-syndicalists and members of the French Communist Party (PCF: ''Parti communiste français''). The CGTU took the majority of the CGT with it. Initially the syndicalists and anarchists outnumber ...

The Syndicat du travail sexuel (STRASS) (Union of sexual work) is an association in France that defends the rights of sex workers, mainly prostitutes but also pornographic actors and phone sex operators. The association was formed on 20 March 2009 during the ''assises de la prostitution'', held at the Odéon-Théâtre de l'Europe, Paris. It is operated as a self-managed syndicate. Objectives The syndicate's initial main priority, according to Malika Amaouche, member of the collective ''Droits et prostitution'' and coordinator of the ''assises de la prostitution'' in 2009, was the repeal of the law on internal security (2003), which prohibited passive soliciting. It also aims to fight against discrimination and marginalisation faced by sex workers by claiming professional status to ensure their social protection and benefits.

Syndicat De La Magistrature
The (SM; English: Union of the Magistracy) is France's second largest magistrates' trade union in terms of membership after the more conservative Union syndicale des magistrats (USM). It was founded on 8 June 1968 in the direct aftermath of the May 68 events. Political positions The Syndicat de la Magistrature is considered close to left-wing parties such as the Socialist Party, historically, as well as La France Insoumise in more recent years. It favours a larger independence of the judiciary from the executive. It has criticised immigration laws it considers severe, " police violence", as well as fast-tracking trials in case of immediate admission of guilt. Amid the 2005 civil unrest in neighbourhoods throughout the country with large immigrant populations, the union criticised then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy's use of what it saw as inappropriate language. In the 2012 presidential election, it called to defeat Sarkozy.
