Speaking up for vulnerable workers

Migrant workers in Wales often experience discrimination and exploitation when they come to Wales. Trade unions in Wales and the Wales TUC are working to support migrant workers coming to Wales by providing migrant workers with information about their employment rights and by encouraging employers to treat migrant workers fairly. The Wales TUC's leaflet of facts about asylum seekers, refugees and migrant workers is available to download.

A trade union report (published December 2007) uncovering the employment situation facing migrant workers in Wales is available to download. For a copy of the report click here.

The TUC set up a Commission to look into the issues surrounding vulnerable employment. The Commission's report is available here.

Courses for union representatives

The Wales TUC organises a range of accredited education courses for union stewards, safety representatives, pension scheme trustees and other trade union representatives. For the current list of courses click here.

Trade Unions in Wales are helping their members get on at work. Wales TUC Learning Services is at the forefront of union-led advice and guidance for reps and members. The Wales TUC Learning Services Team also provides expertise and assists unions in Wales to access the Welsh Assembly Government funded Wales Union Learning Fund.
