The '''Workers' Party''' ({{langx|fr|Parti des Travailleurs}}, PT) was a [[Trotskyism in France|French Trotskyist]] party. It was formed by the [[Trotskyist]] [[Internationalist Communist Party (France)|Internationalist Communist Party]] (PCI), led by Pierre Boussel, better known under his pseudonym [[Pierre Lambert]], together with a number of other socialists with whom they worked in the [[Force Ouvrière]] union confederation.

Within the ''PT'' the former ''PCI'' was known as the [[Internationalist Communist Organisation]]. In reality, despite including [[communist]], socialist and [[anarcho-syndicalist]] tendencies the ''PT'' was generally regarded as little more than a front for the Trotskyist ''PCI''.

Its national secretary was [[Daniel Gluckstein]] (pseudonym: Seldjouk), who received less than 0.5% in the [[2002 French presidential election]].

[[Gérard Schivardi]], a candidate in the 2007 presidential elections under the ''PT'', gained 0.34% of the votes. In the 10 and 17 June 2007 [[French National Assembly]] [[2007 French legislative election|elections]], the party won no seats. Despite these low national results, the ''PT'' polled better in local elections.

The ''PT'' published a magazine called ''Informations Ouvrières'' (''Workers' News'').

In June 2008, the ''PT'' was dissolved into the new [[Independent Workers' Party]] (''Parti ouvrier indépendant'').
