- Source: Revolutionary Syndicalist Committees
The Revolutionary Syndicalist Committees (French: Comités Syndicalistes Révolutionnaires, CSR) were a trade-unionist organization inside the General Confederation of Labour (Confédération Générale du Travail, CGT). The group was founded in opposition to reformist French CGT leadership in the circle around Pierre Monatte and the Vie ouvrére newspaper. They created a coordinating entity after the September 1919 CGT congress and worked to develop inroads with specific member unions, with railroad workers in particular.
Monatte established a CSR Central Committee at a September 1921 opposition congress in Lyon. Revolutionary syndicalists formally separated from the CGT in December. They created a "Unitarian CGT" (CGTU) at the July 1922 Saint-Etienne congress.
