Paul Louis Adrien Delanoue (1 June 1908 – 20 March 1983) was a French trade union leader.
[1][2][3] In 1944, the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) was relaunched, and Delanoue became the editor of its journal, La Vie Ouvrière.
[3] In 1949, Delanoue was elected as the first general secretary of the World Federation of Teachers' Unions (FISE).
In this role, he focused on developing trade unionism among teachers in Africa and Latin America.
