▪ French trade union
French Fédération des Bourses du Travail (FBT),
federation of French workers' organizations (
bourses) established in 1892. The
bourse was a combination of a labour exchange (dealing with job placement), a workers' club and cultural centre, and a central labour union. The federation advocated direct action to bring about a more equitable economic system that would emancipate workers. In 1895 Fernand Pelloutier (
Pelloutier, Fernand), an anarchist and syndicalist leader, became the federation's secretary. The FBT's supporters included socialists as well as syndicalists. In 1902 the FBT merged into the
General Confederation of Labour (
Confédération Générale du Travail).
