« The European Transport Federation (ETF) and Syndex have developed an excellent collaboration that has proved very relevant: a number of new European Works Councils are being set up and good practices are promoted to ensure better participation of transport workers in company decision making. I believe that the advisory and training skills of Syndex colleagues provide tailor-made assistance that is very constructive for the trade unions around Europe. »
