Solidaires Informatique

What Solidaires Informatique does

Solidaires Informatique is a French labor union (syndicat) that organizes and represents workers across three sectors: the digital and IT industry, the consulting and professional services sector, and the video game industry. Founded as a digital-facing union entity in 2017, it operates as a constituent organization of the Union Syndicale Solidaires, one of France's five nationally recognized union confederations. The union positions itself as a "syndicat de lutte" (fighting union), emphasizing direct action, grassroots mobilization, strikes, and an explicitly anti-racist, feminist, antifascist, and democratic identity that distinguishes it from reformist French unions.

The organization delivers no commercial products; its "services" consist of workplace representation, collective bargaining, legal defense, strike coordination, harassment case support, and publication of practical guides (fiches pratiques) on workers' rights. Distribution is structured around company-level union sections (sections syndicales) at approximately 14+ French employers, including Ubisoft, SopraSteria, Sopra HR Software, Solutec, Pelico, Red Hat, Onclusive, Leboncoin, SII, Quantic Dream, Evil Empire, Build A Rocket Boy, Kalank, and Erisium, supplemented by territorial structures for areas without company-specific sections. Communication runs through a website (solidairesinformatique.org), email lists, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and RSS feeds. Membership is voluntary and funded by dues; the entity operates as a non-profit with no disclosed financial figures.

Strategic activity through 2025 and 2026 indicates active expansion: documented outcomes include the conviction of three Ubisoft executives for workplace harassment, the overturning of a dismissal attempt against a Solutec delegate via labor inspection, improved severance terms at Onclusive through joint action with CFE-CGC and Force Ouvrière, and the July 2026 suspension of an AI deployment at Ubisoft Paris. The union collaborates with allied organizations including STJV, SNJ, Metalaw, Sud PTT 92, and academic researchers, and runs thought-leadership programming on AI's impact on labor (Les Temps Artificiels conference, February 2024).

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• CGT (Confédération générale du travail): France's largest union confederation by membership; it operates across all private and public sectors including tech and consulting, competing head-to-head with Solidaires Informatique for sections and bargaining rights at the same employers.
• CFE-CGC: France's white-collar/managerial union confederation; it co-signed Onclusive communications with Solidaires Informatique and competes for representation of the same engineering and managerial IT/consulting workforce.
• Force Ouvrière (FO): One of France's five recognised union confederations; it has co-organized joint actions with Solidaires Informatique (e.g., Onclusive) and competes for the same private-sector IT and consulting membership pool.
• CFDT: One of France's five representativeness-recognised union confederations; it competes with Solidaires Informatique across private-sector IT, consulting and services and operates in a more reformist register, making it the principal counterpart for the same worker population.

Direct peers

• UGICT-CGT: The engineers, IT, consulting and managerial branch of the CGT confederation, organizing the same white-collar/tech worker populations in France as Solidaires Informatique and competing for the same sections at firms like SopraSteria.
• STJV (Syndicat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo): France's main video game workers union; it co-organized the May 2025 Pelico action with Solidaires Informatique and serves the same game-industry worker base on issues like crunch, harassment and layoffs.

Emerging players

• Tech Workers Coalition: A cross-employer tech worker organizing network focused on US/global tech firms; relevant because it tackles the same worker power agenda in the tech industry that Solidaires Informatique addresses in France.
• Game Workers Alliance / CWA: The first US video game industry union at Activision Blizzard / Microsoft, part of the Communications Workers of America; it pursues the same game-worker organizing agenda (crunch, layoffs, harassment) as Solidaires Informatique's Ubisoft/Quantic Dream/Evil Empire sections.

Others

• UNI Global Union - Commerce & IT: A global union federation covering IT and commerce workers worldwide; an upstream counterpart that charters national affiliates and coordinates cross-border campaigns on the same tech-worker issues Solidaires Informatique organises around.

Regional players

• UNEF (Union Nationale des Étudiants de France): France's main students' union; it joined the May 2025 Pelico solidarity demonstration and shares the same French activist ecosystem and cross-movement mobilization tactics as Solidaires Informatique.
