Small history of the federation

"The administration of Finances which most and was best organized, knew movements of employees since 1790 when the suppression of the Farm and the General Control was considered. These employees met in assembly general coordinated in committees, signed petitions and addresses with the National Assembly (…) some even proposed that the employees elect their superiors hiérarchiques". Jeanne SIWEK-POUYDESSEAU

Origins…

With Finances, the trade union of the Active Customs remains in CGT; the Treasury leaves to FO with the Sedentary Mortgages and Customs. The National union of the Indirect taxation leaves CGT but there réadhère since 1949. Of this big bang of 47 still remain of the projecting features in each organization even if the years which followed were made profitable by each one to be established and to develop in all the services of the Ministry.
