Résumé anglais Annie Jacob-Ory : Forms of employers organizations and the limitation of competition. Industrial competition is always defined conventionally ? or by rules which separate the authorized from the forbidden and determine the possible forms of struggle on the market. Economists ? are showing more and more interest in actual practices of competition. The first part of the study deals with the sociological contribution to this literature. In the second part, on the basis of a survey of 57 company unions, with a coded interview, the author tries to establish some ties between the economic conjuncture of the branch, the type of power the union has, and the specific contributions to the determination of competition which the union can make. Contrary to certain current ideas, the professional union has more power in the branches with a good economic situation than in those experiencing a recession. The homogeneous size of the firms is also associated positively with union power. In conclusion it seems that professional organizations play a limited role, but not a negligible one in competition practices.
