Transport Federation
The Transport Federation (French: Fédération des transports, FNST) is a trade union representing transport workers in France.
The federation was established in 1902, and affiliated to the General Confederation of Labour (CGT). By 1946, the union claimed 100,000 members, although it suffered a major split in 1948, when Workers' Force was created.[1][2]
The federation claims 34,500 members, spread across seven sections: urban transport, air transport, road transport, cleaning, highways, taxis, and ski lifts. It does not cover dock workers, sailors, or railway workers, who have their own unions.[3]
