Social dialogue
Trade union activities
All Group companies
respect the legislation in force in all countries where they operate.
Operations managers are backed by the human resources managers, who
indicate the most appropriate solutions for the country context and
VINCI's requirements in the area of respect for trade union freedom,
particularly in countries where there is a risk of non-compliance. As
90% of our business is in Europe, the European Works Council is the
prime guarantor of the expression of trade union freedoms.
