Presentation of the CGT

The CGT is an anarcho-syndicalist union that split from the CNT after a dispute about whether to receive government money in 1979. It is small, but is a functioning union, anarcho-syndicalist but more syndicalist than anarchist.

John Kalwai, 10 June 2004

Flag of the CGT

The flag of the CGT is diagonally divided red-black, with the white letters "CGT" overall. The flag uses a typically anarchist bright red colour, while the union's logo uses a farker shade of red.
