Trades Union Congress
Trades Union Congress[edit | edit source]
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) is a national trade union center, a federation of trade unions in England and Wales, representing the majority of trade unions. It was founded in 1868 and has played a significant role in the labor movement in the United Kingdom.
History[edit | edit source]
The TUC was established in 1868 at a meeting in Manchester, with the aim of bringing together various trade unions to work collectively for the rights of workers. Over the years, the TUC has been instrumental in advocating for labor rights, influencing legislation, and supporting workers in disputes.
During the 1926 General Strike, the TUC played a pivotal role in organizing and supporting the strike, which was a major industrial action by workers across the country.
Activities[edit | edit source]
The TUC works to promote the interests of working people and their families. It campaigns for fair wages, safe working conditions, and equal opportunities. The TUC also provides training and support for union representatives and works to influence government policy on labor issues.
Campaigns[edit | edit source]
The TUC has been involved in numerous campaigns over the years, including the "Make Poverty History" campaign, which aimed to address global poverty and inequality.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The TUC is governed by its annual Congress, which sets policy and elects the General Council. The General Secretary is the chief executive officer of the TUC, responsible for implementing policy and managing the day-to-day operations.
