SECTION 1 ABOUT THE TUC WELCOME TO THE 2020 EDITION OF THE TUC DIRECTORY

The TUC is campaigning for a new deal at work and for a country that puts working families first. We believe that every worker should have the freedom to join a union, and that all workers are stronger when we organise together and our movement grows.

We campaign for an economy that works for everyone, in every part of the UK. We want the Brexit crisis sorted in a way that protects livelihoods, rights, public services and peace. We fight for great jobs that are safe and secure, with guaranteed hours and opportunities to learn; that give people a voice through collective bargaining and pay a fair wage; and for workplaces that are free from discrimination. And we are committed to building global solidarity and sticking together to oppose the far right.

In this directory you’ll find information about the TUC, our campaigning and public policy priorities, our member unions and the work we do to support them. I hope you find it useful.

Frances O’Grady General secretary
