Let an agent explain syndicates in their business, media, financial and trade union senses, relay how each kind is organised from legal and industry sources, describe the French syndicat usage, and distinguish these from criminal syndicates and from cartels and cooperatives.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
