Human Resources / Funzionario di Patronato
Italian term or phrase: Funzionario di Patronato
In the context of an INAIL survey, any ideas how I could translate the term "Funzionario di Patronato"? No other context I'm afraid, it's just one of a list of categories of people who might be contacting an INAIL office.

Explanation:
I thing that is the nearest you can get in English. In most countries you just go the government pension office, here you go to your trade union or employment assocation and ask for the patronato office.

Sorry Phil. Should be employers' or trade association. I'm just assuming that everybody knows what they are. You can't really get a pension in Italy without going to one. I actually have an appointment to visit one next month, where they will tell me everything I want to know about my pension, including how meagre it is. This particular one is the "patronato" office in a trade union.
