The CNT-F (Confédération nationale du travail) or National Confederation of Labour is a French anarcho-syndicalist union. It was founded in 1946 by Spanish anarcho-syndicalists in exile, and former members of Confédération Générale du Travail-Syndicaliste Révolutionnaire (CGT-SR) , its name is derived from the Spanish CNT, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo.
Nowadays, two French organisations share the name CNT:
- the CNT-Vignoles (or CNT-f), from the name of the street where is located their main office in Paris. They decline the epithet of anarchist, preferring to call themselves "revolutionary unionist" (syndicalistes révolutionnaires) [1]. They accept the terms of the 1906 Charter of Amiens.
- the CNT-AIT. It is the French section of the International Workers Association (IWA). They define themselves as anarchosyndicalist, while they have clear influences from council communism, worker anarchism of the Federación Obrera Regional Argentina (FORA) and the Situationist International.
