Coluche, real name Michel Colucci, was one of France's most popular comedians, known in the 1970s and 1980s for sketches mocking everyday institutions. In Le délégué syndical he parodies a Force Ouvrière representative, turning the union's initials FO into a repeated comic slogan. Force Ouvrière is a major French trade union confederation founded in 1948. The short shout was later isolated by fans and shared on French soundboards and meme pages, where it survives as a quick audio punchline for any mention of unions, strikes, or workplace disputes.
