Abstract

A return trip to Paris and Grenoble during the summer of 1985 permitted a reassessment of this research in the light of over four years of Socialist government under François Mitterrand. This epilogue analyses the impact of two major policy changes of this government on the labour movement both at the national level and within our four Grenoble firms. The first change is the ‘Auroux laws’, a set of industrial relations reforms which attempts to transform labour—management relations at the firm level. The second is Socialist economic policy, which after 1982 turned increasingly toward austerity and ‘modernisation’. In different ways these two changes have deepened the strategic crisis of the labour movement.
