Trades Union Council

The Trades Union Council (TUC) is a national organization in the UK that represents and supports trade unions. It aims to promote workers' rights and interests across various industries. Formed in 1868, the TUC brings together different unions to work collaboratively on issues like fair wages, better working conditions, and social justice. It advocates for policies that benefit workers at a national level, engages in political lobbying, and runs campaigns to raise awareness about workers' issues. Essentially, the TUC acts as a united voice for trade unions, enhancing their effectiveness in negotiations with employers and government.
