FRENCH CONFEDERATION OF THE CHRISTIAN WORKERS
 
With 132.000 members, CFTC got 9,7% of the votes to the elections of the industrial tribunal dated December 2002, which means an increase by 2,2% in comparison with 1997.
 
At the last elections of the workers’ council , CFTC is the only trade – union confederation which has risen, with 6,7% against 6% in 2001 and less than 5% a few years before.
 
Today, CFTC includes 1145 trade-unions grouped together in 16 professional federations (trade, services, sales force , private education , metallurgical industry , local authorities , transports , telecommunications , banks …).
 
CFTC is divided into 22 regional unions, 100 departmental unions and 249 local unions.
 
Since 1964, CFTC was ruled by Joseph Sauty (1964–1970), Jacques Tessier (1970–1981), Jean Bornard (1981-1990), Guy Drilleaud (1990–1993) and Alain Deleu (1993–2002), to whom succeeded, as from the Congress of Toulouse in 2002, the present chairman Jacques Voisin.
 
He is assisted by Jacky Dintinger, general secretary, and helped by a team. The treasurer is Philippe Louis, former president of the Regional Union of Alsace.
“ The confederation claims to adhere to and draws its inspiration from the principles of the social and Christian morality ”
Put the economic growth in the service of anyone, create a living environment favourable for the families, build a new status of the worker !
A vision of society in order to reassure the life paths, a label for the company agreements.
For Europe, create a real social and democratic inspiration for the whole citizens. CFTC is not satisfied with a world more and more interdependent and which shows less and less solidarity.
In France, the dialogue is a whole grouping together the collective relations of work inside the firm, the negotiation by sector. In Europe, it's organised by the tripartite social summit thanks to the European Confederation of trade unions (CES).
