French People
The French people (french: Français) are an ethnic group and nation primarily located in Western Europe that share a common French culture, history, and language, identified with the country of France. The French people, especially the native speakers of langues d'oïl from northern and central France, are primarily the descendants of Gauls (including the Belgae) and Romans (or Gallo-Romans, western European Celtic and Italic peoples), as well as Germanic peoples such as the Franks, the Visigoths, the Suebi and the Burgundians who settled in Gaul from east of the Rhine after the fall of the Roman Empire, as well as various later waves of lower-level irregular migration that have continued to the present day. The Norse also settled in Normandy in the 10th century and contributed significantly to the ancestry of the Normans.

General Confederation Of Labour (France)
The General Confederation of Labour (french: Confédération Générale du Travail, CGT) is a national trade union center, founded in 1895 in the city of Limoges. It is the first of the five major French confederations of trade unions. It is the largest in terms of votes (32.1% at the 2002 professional election, 34.0% in the 2008 election), and second largest in terms of membership numbers. Its membership decreased to 650,000 members in 1995–96 (it had more than doubled when François Mitterrand was elected president in 1981), before increasing today to between 700,000 and 720,000 members, slightly fewer than the Confédération Française Démocratique du Travail (CFDT). According to the historian M. Dreyfus, the direction of the CGT is slowly evolving, since the 1990s, during which it cut all organic links with the French Communist Party (PCF), in favour of a more moderate stance. The CGT is concentrating its attention, in particular since the 1995 general strikes, to tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

René Duhamel (trade Unionist)
René Duhamel (29 March 1919 – 23 April 1996) was a French trade union leader. Born in Paris, Duhamel was brought up by his mother, after his father died when he was six years old. He left school at the age of 17, working briefly in a shoe factory before moving to the postal sorting office. He initially had a short-term, seasonal, contract, but he led a movement against redundancies among these workers, and was successful in retaining his job. In 1935, Duhamel joined the youth section of the French Section of the Workers' International, but he disagreed with its policy of non-intervention in the Spanish Civil War, and so joined the Workers and Peasants' Socialist Party split. After the war, he was a founder of the Unitary Socialist Party, joining its executive committee, but later left the party to focus on trade union work. In 1939, Duhamel was enlisted into the French Army, joining the meteorological service, based initially in France, but then in Algeria. He then ...
