Pronunciation: [sˈɪndɪkəlˌɪsts] (IPA)

Syndicalists are advocates of a labor movement that aims to represent the interests of workers through the use of direct action, such as strikes, boycotts, and workplace sabotage, rather than through political or electoral means. Synonyms for syndicalists include trade unionists, labor activists, worker organizers, industrial unionists, and revolutionary unionists. These individuals seek to establish democratic control of the workplace and society as a whole by promoting worker ownership and self-management, and by opposing hierarchical structures of authority and exploitation. Ultimately, syndicalists seek to build a society based on the principles of solidarity, cooperation, and mutual aid, rather than competition and individualism.

Famous quotes with Syndicalists

  • Although it is by definition a union-oriented ideology, there is no perceptible syndicalist presence in any union. A syndicalist is more likely to be a professor than a proletarian, more likely to be a folk singer than a factory worker. Organizers on principle, syndicalists are disunited and factionalized. Remarkably, this dullest of all anarchisms attracts some of the most irrational and hysterical adherents. Only a rather small minority of North American anarchists are syndicalists. Syndicalism will persist, if at all, as a campus-based cult in increasing isolation from the main currents of anarchism.
