SECTION 1 ABOUT THE TUC WELCOME TO THE 2019 EDITION OF THE TUC DIRECTORY

In 2018, we celebrated 150 years since the founding of the , in the Mechanics Institute in Manchester. Our founders resolved to set up the TUC “to take action in all parliamentary matters pertaining to the general interests of the working classes”.

As we start 2019 with the continuing uncertainty around Brexit, that resolve is as necessary as ever. We are determined to ensure workers’ rights are protected and enhanced, not thrown out as part of a hard landing outside the EU. We must bequeath to our successors a stronger movement, one that can continue to challenge the power of bosses in the fast-moving world of work.

In this Directory you’ll find information about ourselves, especially our campaigning and public policy priorities. There’s also sections on our member organisations and the services we provide to them. I hope you find it useful.

Frances O’Grady General secretary
