Résumé
Unity -Pluralism in French Agricultural Trade Unionism: A False Debate. The research efforts of two disciplines — history and sociology — have revealed agricultural syndical unity as a historically constructed myth shaped by social factors. At the same time, belief in such unity is undercut by empirical evidence of pluralist forces. From the beginning, agricultural syndicalism has been characterized by a right-left political cleavage and by social antagonisms. Yet the internal dynamics of the union movement and, even more, state legitimation have required the affirmation of unity. This article thus reveals the mechanisms by which a facade of unity is constructed from divergent interests.
