Abstract

This article uses multiple sources of quantitative data to trace the evolution of trade union influence in France since the 1950s. On the one hand, we put into perspective explanations of the decline in union membership in the 1980s due to socioeconomic changes or generational renewal. On the other hand, we qualify the idea of a linear decline by highlighting other factors that drive the unions' capacity for mobilization, linked to the economic, social, and political context.
