The TUC has always been internationalist, working with unions throughout the world for social justice. In particular the TUC has played a key role in advancing workers rights in Europe and making the case for social Europe. We are affiliated to the world trade union body, the ITUC and the European TUC - both of which maintain up to date links to unions throughout the world.
