The Party of the Workers (Parti des Travailleurs or PT), is a French political party which was formed by the Trotskyist Internationalist Communist Party (PCI) led by Pierre Boussel better known by his pseudonym Pierre Lambert (it was customary for senior leaders of the party to be known under pseudonyms; the internal workings of the PT have traditionally been shrouded in secrecy).
Within the PT the former PCI is now known as the Internationalist Communist Current. In reality despite including communist, socialist and anarcho-syndicalist tendencies the PT is generally believed to be little more than a front for the Trotskyite PCI.
Its national secretary is Daniel Gluckstein (pseudonym: Seldjouk), who got less than 0.5% in the 2002 French presidential election.
The PT edits a magazine, "Workers' Information" (Informations Ouvrières).
The PT is famous for practicing entrism in other left-wing political parties and trade unions - especially in Force Ouvrière.
