The political theory of syndicalism gives control of both industry and government to labor union federations. Direct action, such as general strikes and sabotage, is a hallmark. Syndicalists often consider themselves Democratic Socialists.

During the Spanish Civil War, these methods and theories were used by the Spanish anarchist-syndicalist union Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT).

In the United States, the best-known syndicalist union is the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
