North West TUC

The North West TUC represents nearly one million working people. We campaign to ensure that workers enjoy the best possible conditions at work, are fairly treated and have a voice in society. We support our trade union affiliates in their campaigns, help them to organise in the workplace, give advice and briefings and provide training and educational opportunities for their members.

Foremost we campaign on issues that matter to people at work in our region. We help build strong trade unions to improve the quality of working life. We campaign in the communities of the northwest, working alongside those communities to help address some of the problems that our region faces. We work for decent jobs, an end to racism and for equal opportunities for all. We lobby the key decision makers, both in our region and at national and European level, to make sure that the concerns of working people are heard, understood and more importantly acted upon.
