Ernest Michaud

Ernest François Michaud (5 December 1884 – 8 August 1939) was a French trade union leader.

This led him to join the National Federation of Public Service Employees and Workers, and in 1925, he was elected as its full-time general secretary.

In 1932, he stood unsuccessfully for the French Section of the Workers' International in the 3rd district of the 11th arrondissement of Paris.

While Michaud retained his post, he opposed their influence, and contributed to the anti-communist Syndicats newspaper.

He remained an active trade unionist, and was suspended from work for several months for taking part in a strike in November 1938.
