The TUC has published a free booklet explaining your rights at work and dealing with common workplace problems. Racism at work

The campaign against the electoral progress of the far right faces a major challenge in this years local Council elections with parties like the BNP fielding an extensive list of candidates in council constituencies up and down the country.

This colour leaflet and poster called ' Unions unite - the far right divide', has been produced by the TUC for use by trade unions in the workplace. The leaflet explains why the politics of parties like the British National Party are incompatible with the values that we hold as trade unionists, the continuing danger of the far-right and the need to actively campaign against them.
