Abstract EN:
The cfdt, a french reformist trade union, has, since its creation in 1964, always supported the construction of europe, and considers it to be one of the political areas in which trade unionist activities should intervene. The fgrench group of affiliated trade unions has therefore developped a specifically european policy in order to be able to help solve problems caused by the implementation of the domestic market. However, the unionist conception of the cfdt is not restricted to only defending the immediat interest of salaried employees. The unionist organization has equally set it self goals of social transformation. The cfdt plans to play this reforming role for the entire community and is therefore proposing a unionist progtamme which tales all the european problems into account. The french group of affiliated trade unions thus demands the implementation of a democratic and social management of the free-market economy. This concept allows the cfdt to have a both unionist fonction of defending the interest of salaried employees as well being able to make proposals. In order to realize its many goals, the cfdt has, in a very original way, developped a unionist practice adapted to what the european unionist action needs. This particular strategy is a matter for interunionist cooperation and institutional participation. The cfdt's commitment to europe passed from the cftd (the organization it springs from), is therefore structured and coherent and is based on the elaboration of specifically european way of thinking and unionist practice
Abstract FR:
La cfdt, syndicat reformiste francais, s'est, depuis 1964 date de sa fondation, toujours engagee en faveur de la construction europeenne. La cfdt considere l'union europeenne comme l'un des champs politiques au sein duquel le syndicalisme se doit d'intervenir. La centrale francaise a donc elaboree une politique syndicale specifiquement europeenne afin de pouvoir repondre aux problemes economiques et sociaux generes par la mise en oeuvre du marche interieur. La conception syndicale de la cfdt n'est cependant pas restreinte a la seule des interets immediats des salaries. L'organisation syndicale s7est egalement fixee des buts de transformation sociale. Ce role reformateur la cfdt entend le jouer au niveau communautaire et propose donc un programme sundical englobant l7ensemble des problemes europeens. La centrale revendique ainsi en oeuvre d'une gestion democratique et sociale de l'economie de marche. Ce cadre revendicatif general permet a la cfdt d'avoir une fonction syndicale de defense des interets salaries et un role de proposition. Afin de concretiser ces multiples objectifs, la cfdt a, de facon tres originale, developper une pratique syndicale adaptee aux necessites de l'action syndicale europeenne. Cette strategie particuliere releve tout a la fois de la cooperation intersyndicale et de la participation institutionnelle. L'engagement europeen de la cfdt, herite de la cftc organisation dont elle est issue, est donc structure et coherent et s'articule autour de l'elaboration d'un discours et de pratiques specifiquement europeens
