This article aims at enlightening the CGT's organizational functioning by following the 47th Confederal decisions around structural reforms & financing implemented to develop unionization (2003). The way Professional, Departmental & Local union branches deal with these decisions shows that, contrary to what major stereotypes claim, the CGT's organization is based on structures that are very cautious about their autonomy & that are linked by weak ties. This organizational reality leads to an "organized anarchy," in which the leaders' power on the organization's orientations is limited. Adapted from the source document.
