USASO (Union Syndical des agen

A professional union is a professional or categorical organization of a private nature which aims to "ensure the defense of the material and moral interests of its members". In democratic countries, these organizations are independent of the State (but recognized by it) and governed by a set of laws which specify their status, the modalities, the guarantees and the limits of their exercise. This type of organization can bring together employees (union of employees) or members of employers (employers' organization).
