Presentation of the Syndicate

Presentation

The Road transport & Navigation/ACAL is the most important national organization of workers in this economic sector.

We are attentive to the needs of all employees in the road transport sector, which depends more than any other sector on European laws, directives and regulations.

How does the Road transport & Navigation/ACAL work?

The syndicate’s main mission is to defend the interests of its members, notably through its collective bargaining policy and by taking positions on all issues related to the world of work.

At the head of the syndicate is the syndicate leadership which is elected every 5 years by the syndicate day.

The syndicate day consists of staff delegates, representatives of the local branches and trusted persons.

International cooperation

Our syndicate is a member of the ETF at the European level and the ITF at the global level.
