TUCDIRECTORY 1 WELCOME TO THE 2013 EDITION OF THE TUC DIRECTORY Every organisation needs a single, reliable information resource for those who follow its fortunes, and for the TUC that has been the Directory, our annual yearbook about TUC work and that of our member unions. I hope you will find it useful in 2013. We have made this interactive version to allow busy people on the move to see the Directory on their tablet or smartphone. Click or tap on the links to navigate your way around, visit websites or send emails. The Directory is also available as a printed paperback from TUC Publications. See page 14 for details. Eagle-eyed readers from previous years will notice some content has moved around, and the affiliates section now contains a helpful list of unions by work sector, as well as some data from the latest Labour Force Survey of trade union density and reach, presented as infographics. This, of course, is the first time I have contributed a foreword to the TUC’s Directory as I start my term as the new general secretary. It is certainly a challenging time. The economy continues to scrape along the bottom, with the Office of Budget Responsibility now predicting an increase in unemployment in the months ahead. Public services continue to be squeezed as more cuts bite each year for the foreseeable future. Workers across public and private sectors continue to face huge pressure on their living standards as wages fail to keep up with the cost of living. But the TUC and unions continue to be effective advocates of the interests of working people. In recent months we have seen outrage over tax avoidance, the start of compulsory employer pension contributions and great chunks of TUC policy in the Heseltine review. Even if times remain grim, we still have much to do. The TUC and Britain’s unions stand ready for a busy 2013.
