Spanish term or phrase: los afiliados a los sindicatos adheridos a ella
ALE persigue el fin de representar a nivel europeo los intereses profesionales, sociales y materiales de los afiliados a los sindicatos adheridos a ella.

To clarify the context, I can say that ALE is a trade union that encompasses many other smaller unions in different countries, so it could be viewed as an umbrella organization.

Thanks for any suggestions.

disagree  Henry Hinds: A "sindicato" is a labor union, not a syndicate. Indeed, if you look at the CONTEXT it is right there!

Explanation:
I know it's similar to earlier answers but I wanted to add some info...

*you might want to put in what the acronym stands for but it seems from the Wiki piece that associations are also affiliated, not just unions

http://www.ale.li/index.php?id=2&N=0&L=1
ALE: Autonomous Train Drivers' Unions of Europe
or here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Confederation_of_Indep...
The Autonome Lokomotivführer-Gewerkschaften Europas ALE (The European Independent Train Operators' Union)
...brings together workers from independent European trade unions and professional associations, engineers and other railway staff. ALE represents the professional, social and material interests of individual members in their unions affiliated to representation at European level.[9]...
OK, there are two English versions so I'd go with the "official" one on the ALE site (Autonomous Train Drivers' Unions of Europe)
