Industrial Relations and Trade Unionism in French-speaking West Africa

George R. Martens

Chapter 2 in Industrial Relations in Africa, 1979, pp 16-72 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with the evolution of industrial relations and trade unionism in the nine West African nations which once made up the vast area called French West Africa. Included in the analysis are Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Mali, Ivory Coast, Upper Volta, Niger, Togo and Benin. Each state shared a similar colonial experience during roughly six decades of French rule, but today, after seventeen years of independence, they are experimenting with various patterns of government and face widely different problems of economic development. This diversity of styles which spring from a common heritage provides a great deal of material ideally suited to comparative analysis.
