In 2018, we celebrate 150 years since the founding of the Trades Union Congress, in the Mechanics Institute in Manchester. Our founders resolved to set up the TUC “for the purpose of bringing the trades into closer alliance, and to take action in all parliamentary matters pertaining to the general interests of the working classes”.
150 years on, the world of work is unrecognisable – and trade unions have changed and evolved with it. In this directory you’ll find vital stats about our movement and our member unions. And, true to the mission of our founders to stand up for working people, you’ll find more information about the TUC’s campaigning and public policy priorities. I hope you find it useful.
As we start our 150th anniversary year, we remember the debt we owe trade unionists of the past – and we resolve to bequeath to our successors a still stronger movement. The world of work may change, but trade unions will always be needed to balance the power of bosses.
Frances O’Grady General secretary
