A person who opposes syndicalism and labor union movements, especially those advocating direct action and worker control.
From antisyndicalism + -ist (a person who practices or believes in). This term developed alongside syndicalism's peak influence in early 20th-century Europe and America.
Antisyndicalists included some surprising figures: capitalists wanted no unions at all, but also some democratic socialists feared syndicalism would create tyranny of the union bosses—a prediction that sometimes came true in Soviet-controlled unions.
