SECTION 1 ABOUT THE TUC

BACK TO CONTENTS PAGE WELCOME TO THE 2021 EDITION OF THE TUC DIRECTORY

No-one could have foreseen the twin challenges of the global pandemic and consequent recession. We should be proud of the way the movement responded, stepping up to fight the pandemic, demanding action to protect jobs and supporting our members through thick and thin.

We showed the importance of unions standing up for working people. We adapted how we work and found new ways to build common purpose, understanding and solidarity when we couldn’t be physically together. We adopted the Organising Pledge that commits us to recruiting new members, seeking new recognitions and supporting a new generation of reps. And throughout, we carried on advocating for rights, dignity, equality, fair pay and safety for all working people.

The TUC directory is a guidebook to our movement. In it, you’ll find details of TUC member unions, TUC staff, programmes and priorities, and details of our sister movements and organisations.

I hope you find it useful.

Frances O’Grady General secretary
