The CFDT union, which had some fighting spirit in the 70's, has been coopted by governments in the 90's and is getting discredited at the national level.

Also, a recent scandal (maybe two weeks old, funny that it got out just before the big strike) is that an important member of the bosses' union MEDEF, Gautier-Sauvignac, was taking huge amounts of cash from the unions account ; conservative newspapers insinuated that some of that cash was going to the labor union leaders...

Calling the CFDT a sellout is very much unfair. They have usually been the more pragmatci and willing to find compromise with the employers, but they are not sellouts. FO would be a more appropriate claimant to that title.

I'm not really calling CFDT a sellout, just saying that the perception of it is getting worse as they seem to always be the first to sign of agreements... In 2003, even before the manager's union, CGC.
