Spanish term or phrase: sindicato de empresa
This is from a Mexican Labor Board Ruling. I am tempted to translate the term as "Company union," except that that sounds a lot like a "sindicato blanco" to me. The idea is that it is a single-company union rather than being a sector-wide one. Anyone have any suggestions for how to translate this one?
