Combined (union) branches / Combined union committee Explanation: "Le syndicat local composé 7625 a été créé de toutes pièces par les Métallos de la FTQ en 1971. Principal porte-parole des petits groupes, le 7625 est l’un des plus importants regroupement québécois de travailleurs et travailleuses de la PME industrielle. Briser l’isolement et bâtir la solidarité des gens qui travaillent dans les petites usines est une chose essentielle pour le syndicalisme ouvrier face à un ennemi commun 0 les Boss. Pour en savoir plus, l’aut’journal a rencontré, le 10 novembre dernier, Denis Boucher, président et Pierrette Gosselin, secrétaire-archiviste de la section locale 7625. AJ0 Quel est la structure du 7625? DB0 Le local 7625 du syndicat des Métallos est «composé» de 65 unités de production ouvrière de la région du Montréal-Métropolitain. Cette union de PME regroupe environ 2500 membres. Le nombre moyen de travailleurs, dans chaque entreprises, varie entre 2 et 250 salariés, d’où la devise0 «Notre force, ce sont les unités!» http://archives.lautjournal.info/autjourarchives.asp?article...

This would have been a general meeting of a combined branch of a single union or of a local combine if it covers a number of unions. |

local branch (of union) Explanation: imo -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2012-02-22 17:16:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- trade unions have the HQ and then the local branches which in this case are dealing with the issues. If it was just a local union official who works there it would be the "local shop steward" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2012-02-22 17:18:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- clicked too fast! the shop stewards are fellow workers, elected by them to represent their interest but in this case it seems a branch meeting has taken place where officials from the union would be present as well -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day41 mins (2012-02-23 17:27:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I take "composé" as meaning "formed"(PP not adj) here i.e. the local branch shop stewards with visiting union official(s) have basically formed a "committee" (though I wouldn't use the word) at the general meeting to deal with the company over the issues. |
