The Group of 10 (G10 - Solidaires) is a French group of trade unions, most of which have a name based on Solidaires Unitaires Démocratiques or commonly SUD ("solidarian, united, democratic").They tend to favor progressive or even radical views and work with the alter-globalization or anti-globalization movement. The Group of 10 and the SUD Unions are part of the European Social Forum and the World Social Forum.The Group of 10 was created in 1981 by autonomous unions, as the SNUI, first Union in the French Finances Administration, or the SNJ, organising Journalists. Most of them were Unions refusing the 1946 split between Force Ouvrière and the Confédération Générale du Travail and choosing their autonomy. But several of those Unions decided to join UNSA - an alliance of moderated Unions - in 1993, soon after Sud-PTT joined the Group of 10.
