The Mouvement des Entreprises de France or MEDEF (in English: "Movement of the French Enterprises") is the largest union of employers in France. It was formerly known as the Conseil National du Patronat Français or CNPF (in English: "National Council of the French Employers").
Its current president is Ernest-Antoine Seillière.

MEDEF was able to get most of the unions, except the CGT, close to the agreement.
The role of MEDEF in all this is also a significant development.
Because the establishment political parties of the right are in disarray, MEDEF, the bosses' 'union', is now acting as a political force, trying to initiate policies in the interests of the French bourgeoisie.
