Opposition to syndicalism, a political movement advocating worker control of industry through labor unions and direct action.
From anti- (against) + syndicalism (from French syndicalisme, from syndic 'delegate,' from medieval Latin syndicus). Antisyndicalism emerged as a countermovement in the early 1900s.
Antisyndicalists ranged from capitalist factory owners to Marxist communists—the former feared losing control, the latter feared syndicalists didn't go far enough, showing how the same enemy can unite strange political bedfellows.
