Neither labor nor law: Infopacket from the movement in France
A packet of texts and news translated from the movement currently underway in France. Many of the texts are from Lundi Matin but it also includes links to many other movement resources. This was assembled by La Onda, a communist group in LA.

Images of the French CGT union's 'services d'ordre' stewards
The goons of the services d'ordre (SO), the stewards of the CGT (Confederation General de Travail) and FO (Force Ouvriere) side with the police to the disgust of many, including members of the CGT and FO. They are taunted with "SO, Collabos" ('service d'ordre, collaborators'). Armed with telescopic batons, pick-axe handles, baseball bats and helmets, these goons act to police the anti-labour law demonstrations. Back in May 1968 the CGT's SO performed the same function, attacking demonstrators and sabotaging the uprising.
