Résumé anglais Industry Workers and Rural Development. For over a hundred years rural society in the north-eastern part of the Vendée has been through the psychological and social disturbances inherent in industrialization. During the 19th century mores and customs already differentiated the farmer from the weavers and the paper-makers. Nowadays workers from a traditional working-class background and those from an agricultural milieu are still characterized by a dual mentality in their perception of each other based on cultural and professional differences. However, the traditional division between workers and farmers is not automatically reconducted within the working-class struggles. As a matter of fact, workers under forty appear to have an original vision of strikes and the working-class crisis, and hold their own views on trade-unionism. Their conceptions, values and attitudes do not belong to the culture of the traditional rural workers, but they are also different from the agricultural world. Thus a working-class pattern is progressively emerging which will deeply affect the evolution of this rural milieu.
