Dear colleague,

Rev. syndicalism is more usually referred to in Eng as anarcho-syndicalism (as found in Camus's The Rebel e.g.). As you suggest, it isn't synonymous with the more general (and less 'revolutionary') "trade unionism". A source some of my students found helpful on the question was International Communist Current - on-line at :  http://en.internationalism.org/ir/118_syndicalism_i.html
