National Federation of State Workers
The National Federation of State Workers is a trade union representing civil servants in France.
The union was founded in 1922 and affiliated to the General Confederation of Labour. In the late 1940s, a minority left to form the Federation of General Administration.
Despite its name, the union does not organise all civil servants, as some departments have their own unions, but it covers the Ministry of Defence, and various government agencies. By 1994, it had 14,391 members.
