I‑ Low Unionization Rates
•Low dues but still few members fully financial
–Rely on core of militant activists
–French worker more likely to offer his life to his union than to pay it dues
•Unions weak at enterprise level
–Major union confederations have de‑emphasized this level
–Prefer to act where they can claim to advance interests of the entire working class
Low dues but still few members fully financial
   So strike funds low & little staff or resources

French worker more likely to offer his life to his union than to pay it dues
   Revolutionary organizations which don't bargain don't need large bureaucracies
   Law contributes to this situation
