The Union Syndicale Lycéenne (French pronunciation: [ynjɔ̃ sɛ̃dikal liseɛn]), previously known as la Voix lycéenne (VL), is a French secondary student trade-union. It was founded in 2023 from the union of the most important high-school unions of the country[1]ʼ[2] : La Voix Lycéenne, FIDL, CSTE, AEB Lycée, Union Pirate Lycéenne, making it the first and most influent student trade-union in France.
It aims to defend and represent secondary school students, in the development of student democracy and the defense of student rights, as well as running campaigns on matters such as fighting all types of discrimination and advocating for students who are undocumented migrants.
The Union Syndicale Lycéenne frequently organizes protests and public demonstrations, blocades in high-schools, and took a prominent role in the 2023 social movement against the unpopular pension reform, with hundreds of schools[3]’[4] overrun throughout the country.
In 2023, the organisation joined SUD Éducation Paris and Le Poing Levé Lycée unions in filing an appeal against the French government's ban on wearing abaya in schools.[5]
