General Federation of Mines and Metallurgy

The General Federation of Mines and Metallurgy (French: Fédération générale des mines et de la métallurgie, FGMM) is a trade union representing workers in the metal and mining industries in France.

The union was established in 1984, when the General Federation of Metallurgy merged with the Federation of Miners. Like its predecessors, the union affiliated to the French Democratic Confederation of Labour.[1] By 1994, the union claimed 48,200 members,[2] and by 2017, this had risen to 56,142.[3]
