The Union of Libertarian Communist Workers is one of the important roots
of the current UCL. To tell its story, from the struggles of 1974 to the
emergence of strike coordination in 1986, is to have a slice of the
history of the workers' movement as a backdrop. ---- In 1976, a group of
young workers was excluded from the Anarchist Revolutionary Organization
(ORA) and founded the Union of Libertarian Communist Workers (UTCL).
---- Followers of direct action unionism, they found themselves involved
in the resistance to the refocusing of the CFDT.
TLPAT No. 20 (February 1979)
While, in the 1980s, the decline in struggles was fatal to part of the
far left, the UTCL survived by linking its destiny to this trade union
left which, faithful to the spirit of May 68, would give rise to the SUD
unions.
From the major strikes of 1974 to the emergence of strike coordination
in 1986, telling the story of the UTCL means having a slice of the
history of the workers' movement as a backdrop.
Théo Roumier, Syndicalistes et libertaires. Une histoire de l'UTCL
(1974-1991), éd. Alternative libertaire, 2025, 240 pages.
Also discover:
Patrice Spadoni and Thierry Renard: "There was a whole mythology
surrounding the ORA"
A major interview with twelve veterans: "The UTCL, a workerism with a
human face!"
"The seventeen years of the UTCL", a collective assessment text adopted
on June 16, 1991, at the end of the 5th and final congress of the Union
of Libertarian Communist Workers, in Paris.
A photo album of the UTCL at the Fonds d'archives communistes libertaires.
This book is an abridged, updated and pocket-sized reissue of the 2013
edition
